Welcome to Groupon, Kalamazoo! For our inaugural deal, pay $5 for $10 worth of subs at Jersey Giant Subs. Since this is everyone's first Groupon, allow us to briefly explain how it works.

How Groupon Works

Groupon is a combination of the words group and coupon. Each day, we offer an unbeatable deal on the best of Kalamazoo: restaurants, spas, sporting events, theater, and more. By promising businesses a minimum number of customers, we get discounts you won't find anywhere else. We call it "collective buying power."

If you want to get the deal, just click BUY before the offer ends at midnight. If the minimum number of people (10 for today's deal) sign up by the end of the day, you'll be emailed a gift certificate the next morning. You can print your Groupons, or redeem them with our mobile app. Use them whenever you want until the deal expires—today's expires in one year. If not enough people join, no one gets the deal (and you won't be charged), so invite your friends to make sure you get the discount!

Today's Deal

Like the earth, a sandwich is made of layers and gathers its strength from its meaty core, which pushes condiments toward the crust to erupt and bury fingers in deliciousness. Let rivers of mayo magma run with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of subs, sides, extras, and drinks at Jersey Giant Subs.

With 31 years of sandwich-making experience under their belt, the guys behind this unassuming sandwich shop leave the frills to the subs. Jersey Giant Sub’s sandwiches are stacked with enough fresh meat and cheese to share with a pen pal. Some menu goldmines include the eponymous Jersey Giant, a rockin’ ham, cheese, capicola, and salami party ($7.49), and the Jersey Devil, a ham, cheese, capicola, salami, prostini, pepperoni, roast beef, and turkey number named for Lord Jersey, inventor of the pitchfork ($10.01). Grandma’s recipe makes its professional debut in the tuna sandwich with half pound of the ocean’s finest piled on ($5.19), while the vegetarian sandwich stacks high with cheese and any other veggies or condiments found behind the counter ($6.54). All sandwiches are served on fresh bread baked daily and come with secret Italian dressing, choice of veggies and sauces, and giardiniera or yellow peppers for just a bit extra. With all subs cashing in at less than $10.01, Jersey Giant Subs is perfect for students on a budget and folks with monster appetites.

Reviews

Southwest Michigan Dining, and more than 300 Facebookers, are fans of Jersey Giant Subs:

• Both of us really enjoyed our lunch and will enjoy them again for dinner. There was a big stack of meat on my sandwich and even without veggies, it was very filling. J said her sandwich was really good and liked the idea that she will have at least one if not two more meals. I like that they don’t rely on filling the sandwiches with veggies. The more meat the better. – Southwest Michigan Dining
