HISTORY

Started In 1956
Mike opens up one of the first submarine sandwich spots in the country. It’s a family run storefront offering up this relatively new food invention for the first time in America. It’s an instant success as families line up for the delicious food and friendly service.

Mike chose this scenic vacation spot on the Jersey Shore close to NYC, Philly, and Washington DC to open up his first shop. Located on the boardwalk where people would spend their summers surfing, relaxing, and enjoying time with their families, it was the perfect location for this new concept in food service.

Besides the food, the thing that made Mike’s different was the way he got to know his customers. Mike would love to learn people’s names (both vacationers and locals alike) and he built a loyal following of people coming back year after year, week after week to enjoy the amazing subs.

Peter Buys Mike’s in 1975
A 17 year old high school kid who absolutely loved working at Mike’s heard the original owner was planning on selling the store, and so with a loan from his football coach who was also a local banker, he purchased the shop. Even though he was young, Peter began expanding Mike’s subs locally, and everywhere he went people continued to line up around the block for sandwiches.

Today, Jersey Mike’s is a well loved brand with more than 4,000 Jersey Mike’s locations open and under development.

Mike’s Way
Lettuce, onions, tomatoes, oil, vinegar and spices still top amazing authentic sandwiches across the nation, carrying on the namesake who created the store over 65 years ago. Our secret to longevity has been making sure that everything is always high quality. Our meats and cheeses are all top-quality premium brands. Our bread is fresh-baked each day on the premises. And of course, everything’s prepared right in front of you. It’s what makes Jersey Mike’s the most authentic tasting submarine sandwich.
