Jersey Mike's Subs is an American submarine sandwich chain that originated in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, in 1956. The brand was originally known as "Mike's Subs" and was purchased by Peter Cancro in 1975, who then franchised the business under the name "Jersey Mike's." The restaurant is known for its fresh ingredients, signature bread baked in-house, and a commitment to giving back to the community through its "Month of Giving" campaign. Jersey Mike's has grown significantly, with thousands of locations across the United States.
