is confident of reopening after the car accident

On Saturday, a 15 year old student driver crashed through the front wall of the Jersey Mike's Subs at Aurora Village. (see previous story)

Steve Berry, owner of the shop, has this to say:

"I'm really proud of our crew. Both Matthew Abeyta and Austin Bechtold did a great job responding. 

"They made sure the customers and themselves were safe, then, quickly shifted gears to provide a reassuring and calm environment.

"From what I understand, I am glad everyone, including the young driver, was able to walk away from the crash. That is a miracle unto itself.

"Thank you to everyone at the Aurora Village Plaza, within the local community and the Jersey Mike's franchise community that has reached out to help put the store and the lives of those affected by this accident back together. There is truly strength in unity.

"We're still assessing what it's going to take to open back up, but based on the response we've seen already, I'm confident the Shoreline Jersey Mike's Subs will back open as quickly as possible."
