January 24, 2023 – Washington Co., Wi – A story we first told you about in August 2022 regarding a second location for Jersey Mike’s Subs and Qdoba Mexican Grill will be opening in 2023 in Washington County, WI.
The Hartford Plan Commission reviewed a proposal for the new site and will now revisit the design during its meeting February 13, 2023 as parking and driveway access were a couple of sticking points.
City administrator Steve Volker said eight parking spaces will be added and the driveway will be moved about 40 more feet away from Highway 60. The site is the former home of Culver’s on Sumner Street.
Aside from the two fast-food joints, a third tenant in the strip will be designed for Great Clips Hair Salon.
The first Jersey Mike’s Subs opened in West Bend, WI at 1025 S. Main Street in May 2021. Local franchise owner Hayden Straus said he lives in Hartford, WI and is encourage by the opportunity to build another Jersey Mike’s in that community.

Straus will be building a new location in the former Culver’s lot, 1570 E. Sumner Street in Hartford, WI. That location had been for sale since a fire leveled the old Culver’s on September 11, 2021.
Straus closed on the purchase of the property May 6, 2022, for $875,000.
Prior to the fire, the property was purchased in August 2021 for $2,400,000.
