The Ridgefield Education Foundation (REF) continues to support its' "Merchant of the Month" program to promote local business. Jersey Mike's Subs will be the featured business for July.
"This is about celebrating and supporting Ridgefield as a whole. Our local businesses and our schools are two gems that make Ridgefield special. Now you can shop local and support REF all at once", says Jonathan Seem, REF Executive of Development.
Brian Egan, owner of Jersey Mike's Subs agrees. "Here at Jersey Mike's, it is our mission to support the community in which we serve. We love to give back and it is a pleasure to partner with the Ridgefield Education Foundation."
Heading to a CHIRP concert or Martin Park for the day? Jersey Mike's Subs has many options to choose from for everyone in your family! From Philly cheese steaks, Italian subs, a kids menu or even gluten free options like, a sub in the tub, during the entire month of July, 10% of the your purchase will be donated to the community organization, as long as you mention "REF".
"Brian is a positive, community oriented addition to our wonderful array of local merchants. Plus the sandwiches are delicious! Stay tuned in the coming months for more great local shopping days in support of creative, innovative and collaborative educational initiatives", states Avery Costigan, REF President.
