Jersey Mike’s began in 1956 as one of the nation’s very first submarine sandwich shops, founded on the Jersey Shore where families gathered to surf, relax, and share great food. What set Mike’s apart wasn’t just the sandwiches-it was the personal touch. Mike took the time to know his customers by name, creating a loyal community that returned summer after summer. In 1975, a passionate teenager named Peter purchased the original shop and began expanding, carrying forward Mike’s vision and transforming a local favorite into a brand now loved across the country with more than 4,000 locations open and in development.

Today, Jersey Mike’s remains true to its roots with every sandwich made Mike’s Way: piled high with fresh lettuce, onions, tomatoes, oil, vinegar, and spices. Our commitment to quality has never changed-we use only premium meats and cheeses, bake our bread fresh daily, and prepare everything right in front of you. More than just a sandwich shop, Jersey Mike’s is about authenticity, tradition, and a genuine connection with our customers that’s been at the heart of our story for nearly seven decades.
