    “I met Brian Sommers five years ago when I became associated with Jersey Mike's. He is an amazing bundle of energy that lights up any room that he is in. He is extremely honest. He is not afraid to to tell you exactly what is on his mind. I never have any questions about his integrity. His job is to sell franchises, but he has a true concern that all the franchisees succeed. He was in our market and a franchisee was excited about a location. Brian was able to talk to him about why this site was not a good location. Rather than just build another store, his first thought was about the success about the franchisee. The franchisee months later came back to me and thanked me for Brian's counsel. Brian has an extensive operations background. It is fun to see him in a store and get excited about working behind the line again. It is an honor to call Brian Sommers my friend. ”

    “Brian was my first official contact with Jersey Mike's Sub. His passion and enthusiasm for the brand made me want to be a part of the JMS family. I know his job is to sell franchises but he sold it to me as buying into a special group of people. 3 years later I still feel special. JMS is a great organization that provides leadership and has a goal of success for everyone.”
