Missoula Sub Fans Might See Big Changes Next Year

Missoula and sandwich shops have a strange relationship.

We pretend we don’t care, but the moment a new one is rumored, everyone begins showing up at construction sites like paparazzi following a big-time movie star.

Now, one of the city’s most beloved sub shops is said to be lining up some big changes in 2026. The kind of changes that could impact the entire brand, including what we get here in Missoula.

Dramatic Changes Are Coming To This Sandwich Chain

According to Mashed, Jersey Mike's is gearing up for a big year of growth in 2026. That means more locations, more international expansion, and more digital ordering.

Translation: more stores, more online orders, more deals driven by the app, and just generally more corporate energy.

And whenever a chain starts talking expansively about “digital strategy," you can probably bank on changes being on the way, even if those changes are simply whether the sandwiches arrive via drone.

Missoula Still Waiting On That Brooks Street Location

What makes this extra funny is that Missoula is currently in the midst of its own little sandwich shop mystery. We’ve got the current location, which is a perpetual madhouse, and we’ve also got that new spot on Brooks Street, looking like it’s sitting there waiting for a grand opening date to get booked, then pushed, then pushed again.

There’s still no indication from the owners about when it’s going to open, which is classic. But maybe part of Jersey Mike's new expansion project.

What This Could Mean For Sub Lovers In Missoula

If the brand is truly focused on growth during 2026, that could be a positive sign for Missoula. It could mean Brooks Street finally opens, or it could mean more locations down the line.

Granted, the sandwiches might still be solid, but you may have to download an app and give a piece of your soul in order to get a good coupon.

Which feels very 2026.
