All is fair in love and (submarine) war.
Popular East Coast submarine sandwich franchise Jersey Mike’s plans to open Wednesday at 2300 Harbor Blvd. in a plaza already occupied by Subway and Albertsons, which both feature made-to-order subs.
To kick off the business, diners can exchange a special coupon though Sunday to get a free regular sub for a minimum $1 contribution to support Newport Harbor, Estancia, Corona del Mar and Costa Mesa high schools.
More than 14,000 coupons have been distributed to the schools and surrounding businesses.
