A fast-growing national sub sandwich chain has plans for a fourth location in the Tri-Cities, roughly four years after opening its first in Richland. 

Signage for Jersey Mike’s along with a poster saying “Coming Soon” has been installed on the small three-space retail development along George Washington Way in the Washington Plaza shopping center. Currently a Starbucks is the only tenant in the development, which was completed more than a year ago. 

A company spokesperson said plans currently call for the new location to open in early 2026.

The privately-owned sandwich chain, which began in 1975, has more than 600 locations and has been expanding quickly since being acquired by hedge fund Blackstone. Its first Tri-Cities location opened in Richland’s Vintner’s Square in the Queensgate retail district in 2021. It was soon joined by one in Kennewick in a development built in the Columbia Center mall’s parking lot and another along Road 68 in Pasco. 

The first Richland location and one in Kennewick also have Starbucks locations as neighboring tenants.
