Jersey Mike's Now Open At Morongo
The latest eatery to officially open near the Cabazon Outlets serves up sub sandwiches and more.
MORONGO INDIAN RESERVATION, CA — Jersey Mike’s Subs, known for its fresh sliced and fresh grilled subs, gathered with the Morongo Tribal Council on Monday Nov. 5 to celebrate the opening of its new restaurant on the Morongo Indian Reservation.
The ribbon-cutting celebration of the new restaurant at 48555 Morongo Trail followed a fundraiser by franchise owner Alvaro Garcia which raised thousands of dollars for Boys & Girls Clubs of the San Gorgonio Pass and Cabazon Elementary School. The restaurant donated $3 for every sale when the customers presented to a special coupon circulated in the community earlier in the month.
“We are excited to welcome Jersey Mike’s to Morongo, and we appreciate their commitment to giving back to the community through their grand-opening fundraiser benefitting the Boys & Girls Clubs of the San Gorgonio Pass and Cabazon Elementary School,” said Morongo Tribal Chairman Robert Martin.

“At Jersey Mike's, our fundraising partnerships create a layer of sustainability for schools, youth sports leagues, and other nonprofits,” said Garcia. “These partnerships allow us to truly become members of our community by allowing us to contribute to the success of local youth. We honestly feel that we are changing the world one sub at a time.”
The Jersey Mike’s Subs opening is the second in as many months at a new 7,500-square-foot building constructed by the tribe near the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa. Chipotle Mexican Grill recently opened at the building, and Cold Stone Creamery and Haus of Poke are set to occupy other suites at the site, built around a central outdoor dining patio.

The new commercial building marks the latest step in Morongo’s master-planned development to expand the tribe’s retail, hospitality and service offerings along Interstate 10 in Cabazon. In recent years, Morongo has welcomed numerous well-known brands to the reservation, including In-N-Out Burger, Starbucks, Taco Bell, and Panda Express.
