Wichita Falls residents have one less eatery after a notice appeared in the doorway of Jersey Mike’s sub sandwich restaurant on Call Field Road stating its doors were locked.

The notice penned by Triton Retail Ltd., leasing manager Robert Morrison, states that owners of the franchise, Tyrone Muldowney, Muldowney Food Group LLC, DBA Jersey Mike’s, are delinquent in rent payments for more than three months. The notice states that no attempts have been made to pay the late rent or contact the leasing group so they changed the locks. It goes on to state that according to Texas Property Code Title 8, No. 93.002, the business may obtain a new set of keys if, or when, they pay the entire amount owed.

Muldowney Food Group LLC was last registered as a business in Texas, Jan. 27, 2014. The business address is listed in Lawton, Okla.

Jersey Mike’s Subs opened in Wichita Falls April 11, 2012. At the time, franchise owners were listed as Bryan Selden and Jeff Worthen.

Jersey Mike’s Subs began business as one location along the Jersey shore in 1956, and recently celebrated their 1,000th franchise opening. The restaurants offer East Coast-style subs on fresh baked bread using the same recipe for more than 50 years.

Times Record News attempted to call the restaurant but there was no answer or voice mail capability.

A message was left for Morrison, but Triton Retail has not returned the call as of publication.

During a call to the Jersey Mike’s corporate office they stated they were not aware that the Wichita Falls location was closed, but they would check on the issue and call back.

It is not clear whether this closure will be temporary or permanent. Updates will be posted as information is released.
