Reader Mike tells me that a second Goleta location for Jersey Mike’s Subs is coming to 145 North Fairview Avenue next to Santa Barbara Chicken Ranch and I confirmed that the eatery is on their way. Started at the Jersey Shore in 1956, Jersey Mike’s serves authentic East Coast-style subs on fresh baked bread – the same recipe it started with over 65 years ago. The company’s mission is to bring its customers high quality, fresh-made subs and to give back to the communities in which it operates. The Jersey Mike’s franchise has 1,910 locations open and about 124 more in development across the United States. South Coast locations include 3325 State Street, 7034 Marketplace Drive in Goleta, and 1054 Casitas Pass Road in Carpinteria. A downtown location at 1213 State Street closed in 2019.
