At FSC First, we are committed to empowering small business owners on their journey to success. One of our recent clients, Lorraine Lee, is a shining example of entrepreneurial spirit. As the franchise owner and Managing Member of Isaiah 41:10, dba Jersey Mike’s Subs, Lorraine’s passion for providing great food has led her to open a new Jersey Mike’s Subs location in Laurel, MD.
After years in the finance industry and just after being awarded the Jersey Mike’s Subs franchise, Lorraine did her research and learned that Jersey Mike’s Subs corporate location in Ellicott City needed help. While working there, she gained valuable experience, to add to the success of her soon opening franchise. Lorraine also has a passion for building generational wealth and forming legacy ties and she sees this franchise as part of this mission. Both her son, Patrick and daughter, Kelly are involved in the operation and ownership of the franchise. With the help of FSC First’s VLT Small Business Flex Fund loan, Lorraine secured the funding needed to acquire her franchise and bring Jersey Mike’s famous subs to the community. Lorraine shared, “I owe so much gratitude to FSC. It’s been a long journey and it’s great to know that FSC has been such an integral part of it.”
The VLT Flex Fund, fueled by proceeds from video lottery terminals, supports small businesses in Maryland, helping with business acquisitions, expansion, real estate, equipment purchases, and more.
Lorraine’s Jersey Mike’s location will be located at 3569 Russett Green East, Unit 107, in Laurel, MD. It’s in the same parking lot and entrance as the Walmart and Sam’s Club, just off Rt. 295 (BW Parkway) and Rt. 198. Her marketing efforts, Lorraine’s, are already attracting customers to her Jersey Mike’s location. And folks are already plans to take advantage of the fresh, made-to-order subs, sliced and grilled right in front of you.
The grand opening of Lorraine’s new store is November 2024! Be on the lookout for the grand opening announcement and prepare to stop by her Jersey Mike’s location in Laurel to see for yourselves how she and her son, Patrick are serving up success—one sub at a time.
