Jersey Mike’s is set to make its George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) debut this year. The opening is part of a $2.5 billion expansion of the reimagined Terminal B at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). According to a recently filed permit, the buildout for the tenant fitout for the new Jersey Mike’s and the three additional tenants set to open at 3100 North Terminal Road is almost underway.
The permit details that the $3.5 million construction project is expected to start in mid-July and is slated to wrap up before the end of October this year. If all goes well with the renovations of the 9,647 square foot space, the four tenants should be open by this fall.
Baldi Management Group is behind the concessions tenant fitout and general access seating area. Tenant operators include Jersey Mike’s, Protein Bar & Kitchen, Katz Coffee, and Smash Burger. The four eateries are expected to take up spaces BNW 7B, 7, 6, and 7C.
Jersey Mike’s started as Mike’s Subs in Point Pleasant, NJ, in 1956. In 1975, a 17-year-old Peter Cancro bought the pioneering sub shop with a loan from his coach. Cancro would rebrand the Mike’s Subs to Jersey Mike’s in 1987 and begin franchising, according to the Jersey Mike’s website. With a focus on authentic “Jersey” roots, the brand rapidly expanded through franchising.
Known for its extensive hot and cold sub offerings, the brand has continued to blossom.
