JRECK Subs

JRECK Subs is a sub shop chain with a location in Cicero that serves fresh, made-to-order subs and satisfying sides. The brand was born in 1967, when five teachers from Carthage Central High School began selling submarine sandwiches out of an old, converted school bus.

Their first initials gave the shop its name: Jerry Haley, Robert Martin, Ellis Martin, Charles Lehman and Keith Waltz spell JRECK. Since then, JRECK sub shops have opened across New York, serving fresh, made-to-order subs to loyal customers.
