DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) - A new chain opened its doors in Decatur on Tuesday, as Jersey Mike's welcomed customers to its new location on Mound Road. 

The company also handed out coupons to the first several visitors on opening day. 

Kevin Dunkelberger, operator of the Decatur Jersey Mike's, said the chain is excited to expand its offerings in central Illinois to the Soy City.

"When you show up to the restaurant, bring your patience," Dunkelberger said.

During the grand opening, Jersey Mike's partnered with Macon Resources in Decatur. 

If customers stop in for a sandwich through March 15, the company will donate 15% of the sales to MRI to support their programs that help individuals with developmental disabilities.
