March marks more than just the beginning of spring for <a href="https://www.jerseymikes.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=peter-cancro-making-a-difference-one-sub-at-a-time-1222" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jersey Mike&#8217;s</a>; it also represents the submarine sandwich franchise&#8217;s fifth annual March Month of Giving initiative. Last year&#8217;s Month of GIving fundraising campaign raised $2.1 million for over 100 charities across the country, and Jersey Mike&#8217;s is hoping to surpass this number in 2015. &#8220;I would like to extend a personal invitation to come in and enjoy a Jersey Mike&#8217;s sub during our Month of Giving,&#8221; said Peter Cancro, founder and CEO of the company. Customers are encouraged to donate to designated charities at their local Jersey Mike&#8217;s locations throughout the month, while the various company chains gear up to donate 100 percent of all sales on Wednesday, March 25 to their partner charities. &#8220;This year we hope to raise more than $2.5 million to support these local causes so we can bring hope to all those involved with the charities and make a difference in people&#8217;s lives,&#8221; Cancro continued. The brand's dedication to giving back has not slowed down its growth. In addition to raising over $5 million for various charities to date, Jersey Mike&#8217;s has also more than doubled in size over the past three years, including opening 155 new locations during 2014 alone. While Jersey Mike&#8217;s altruistic efforts are its own reward, it&#8217;s important not to discount the bonus benefits of franchises giving back to their local communities. 1851 has previously <a href="http://1851franchise.com/details.php?category_id=1162&amp;id=6" target="_blank">highlighted how giving back can help a brand</a>. Studies have shown that a majority of consumers feel better about a brand if they know it supports a cause they care about. By designating March as a Month of Giving, Jersey Mike&#8217;s is lending a helping hand to those in need while also giving customers a reason to feel better about biting into their next sub.
