 Redberry Restaurants (“Redberry”) will open the first downtown Toronto Jersey Mike’s Subs in the Union Market area of Union Station on Wed., Jan. 22, 2025, giving Toronto’s business district, commuters and visitors the chance to enjoy the authentic fresh sliced/fresh grilled sub sandwiches offered by the iconic brand.

The downtown opening is part of Redberry’s long-term plan to open 300 Jersey Mike’s locations in the next 10 years. It is the fifth Jersey Mike’s Redberry has opened since August 2024. Other locations have opened in Markham, North York, Brantford and Guelph. A Pickering location is also coming early in the new year. These six locations will employ nearly 180 crew members in the Greater Toronto Area. Redberry also owns two existing and recently remodeled Jersey Mike’s locations in Kitchener and London.

To celebrate the new Union Station location, Redberry will hold a grand opening and fundraiser from Wednesday, Jan. 22 to Sunday, Jan. 26 to support Make-A-Wish Canada. Customers who receive a special fundraising coupon distributed through a grassroots effort prior to the opening can make a minimum $3 contribution to Make-A-Wish in exchange for a regular sub. Customers must have a coupon to be eligible.

Customers without a coupon will have a limited-time opportunity to download the Jersey Mike’s app and earn a free regular sub after their first in-app sub purchase and will also be able to support Make-A-Wish Canada via a donation box near the register. The first 500 guests at the grand opening will receive a Jersey Mike’s branded hockey puck.

“We have arrived at the heart of Canadian commerce in Toronto’s downtown business district and we are just getting started,” said Ken Otto, CEO, Redberry. “We can’t wait to offer effortless access to our ‘sub above’ experience from the venerable halls of Union Station to countless Toronto commuters, shoppers and tourists and we are eager to continue supporting Make-A-Wish Canada during the first five days of our grand opening celebration.” 

Making a Difference

Jersey Mike’s believes that making a sub sandwich and making a difference can be one and the same. Last year, in Canada, between the company’s annual Month of Giving in March and the Markham and North York opening fundraisers, Jersey Mike’s raised nearly $19,000 to help Make-A-Wish Canada. In addition, $2,396was raisedfor Child Hunger Brantford and $2,645 for the Children’s Foundation of Guelph and Wellington.

Fresh Sliced/Fresh Grilled

Jersey Mike’s premium meats and cheeses are sliced on the spot and piled high on the in-store baked bread. Jersey Mike’s fans crave their subs made Mike’s Way® with the freshest vegetables – onions, lettuce and tomatoes – along with an exquisite zing of “the juice,” red wine vinegar and an olive oil blend, topped off with our signature spices. Authentic cheesesteaks are also grilled fresh to order.

The restaurant’s hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. You can place orders in-store, on the Jersey Mike’s app, online at www.jerseymikes.ca, and on the national delivery apps. Catering orders are also welcome.

A lone, spectral woman shrouded entirely in black appears on a family’s front lawn without explanation and warns them “today’s the day.”

Where did she come from? What does she want? When will she leave? Only The Woman in the Yard knows.

From Blumhouse, the most successful global brand in horror, comes a new original chiller starring BAFTA and SAG nominee Danielle Deadwyler (Till, The Harder They Fall, The Piano Lesson) as Ramona, a woman crippled by grief after she survives a car accident that takes her husband (Russell Hornsby; BMF, Fences).

Seriously injured, Ramona now must care for their 14-year-old son (Peyton Jackson; Respect, American Refugee) and 6-year-old-daughter (Estella Kahiha; Will Trent, BMF), alone in her rural farmhouse.

Then one day the woman takes form in their yard.

Ramona assumes the woman (Okwui Okpokwasili; The Exorcist: Believer, Julie Taymor’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream) is lost or demented, but as the woman creeps nearer and nearer to the house, it becomes clear she is no ordinary figure and her intentions are anything but peaceful. Now Ramona must rally to protect herself and her children from the grasp of the woman who simply won’t leave them alone.

The Woman in the Yard is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (Black Adam, Jungle Cruise), who recently directed Deadwyler in the upcoming action thriller Carry On. The film is written by first-time feature screenwriter Sam Stefanak.

The film is produced by Jason Blum, producer of The Invisible Man and The Black Phone, along with acclaimed Emmy nominated producer Stephanie Allain p.g.a. (The Exorcist: Believer, Hustle & Flow), and is executive produced by star Danielle Deadwyler, Jaume Collet-Serra, James Moran and Gabrielle Ebron.

Opening on January 16, 2025, AYLA marks a homecoming for the powerhouse husband-and-wife duo, Executive Chefs Danvee Kwok and Kevin Shawcross. The restaurant is the result of a shared vision between chefs Danvee and Kevin and co-owners, Craig Wong and Ivy Lam. This dynamic team first connected in Hong Kong, where their mutual respect and passion for food paved the way for this exciting collaboration.

“Working in Asia and in Barbados for so many years taught me the art of crafting menus that are unapologetically bold and deeply intentional,” says Chef and Co-Owner Kevin Shawcross. “With AYLA, we’re bringing that same spirit to Toronto, with homage to the culinary traditions of Hong Kong combined with the multicultural influences of this incredible city.”

The name AYLA, meaning “halo of light around the moon,” is inspired by a serendipitous friendship formed on Moon Street in Hong Kong’s Wan Chai district, where Kevin and Craig first did a pop up together. This personal history informs the restaurant’s ethos, combining heritage with innovation.

Chefs Danvee and Kevin bring a wealth of experience to AYLA, having led kitchens in Vancouver, Japan, Barbados, and Hong Kong. Both formerly served as executive chefs for the acclaimed Black Sheep Restaurant Group in Asia. Their deep roots in Cantonese culinary traditions, paired with mastery of French, Japanese, Caribbean, and Mediterranean cuisines, shape a menu that is bold, global, and deeply personal. Signature dishes include Char Siu with Bajan green seasoning and cassareep glaze, Prawn Toast Okonomiyaki, and Mentaiko Tarama with nori and wild ikura.

“At AYLA, every dish, every detail reflects the creativity and global flavours we’ve come to love and crave over our years in the industry,” says Chef and Co-Owner Danvee Kwok.

Craig Wong, celebrated chef behind Patois and JunePlum, lends his visionary approach to storytelling through food, while Ivy Lam’s creative expertise has shaped AYLA’s identity. “Food has the power to tell stories and connect people to cultures, places, and moments in time,” says Co-Owner Craig Wong. “At AYLA, we draw inspiration from our neighbourhoods and the journeys that have shaped us around the globe. Each dish is a snapshot of those stories—fun, unexpected, and crafted with respect. It’s food meant to be shared, enjoyed the way we love to eat: together, with friends.”

The restaurant’s design pays homage to iconic films by Wong Kar-Wai, a nod to Hong Kong cinematography with warm mood lighting and vintage details. It’s a timeless and intimate space that encourages connection and storytelling. Guests can also enjoy an urban cityscape from the rooftop patio overlooking Dundas West, adding to the restaurant’s charm and allure. From its innovative menu to its cinematic design, AYLA is poised to become a new favourite for food lovers and culture seekers alike.

Reservations are now available through aylaupstairs.com/reserve
