Are you not familiar with iconic Jersey Mike's Subs? Let me give you a quick review of this Jersey-based food giant. Jersey Mike’s Subs began in 1956 as a small sandwich shop called Mike’s Submarines in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. Known for its fresh ingredients and authentic East Coast-style subs, the shop quickly developed a loyal local following.

In 1975, a 17-year-old employee named Peter Cancro bought the store with the help of a family friend and began expanding the brand. He renamed it Jersey Mike’s to reflect its roots and started franchising in 1987. Since then, the company has grown into a national chain with thousands of locations across the U.S., all while staying true to its original emphasis on quality, service, and community.
