Jersey Mikes

The very first Jersey Mikes (called Mikes Sub’s back then) started in Point Pleasant, New Jersey in 1956. Mike became known for recognizing his customers by name and remembering their favorite sandwich order. In 1975 Peter Cancro had worked at Jersey Mikes during his High School years. Upon hearing the business was for sale, he decided to buy Mikes Sub’s at the age of 17. Today he is the owner and CEO of Jersey Mikes and oversees approximately 1,500 franchise locations.

Every year during the month of March, Jersey Mikes believes in giving back to the community. They call it the Month of Giving, here’s how it works. Customers are invited to come into Jersey Mikes during the month of March and donate to a local partner charity. Then on the last Wednesday of March, 100% of the day’s sales are donated to the local partner charity. This year, 2017, they raised over $5.5 million to over 150 different charities across the nation. So extraordinary impressive!

Very happy to discover they offer any type of sub in a wrap version and you get to choose what type of wrap; spinach, tomato or flour. Plus they have fresh delicious turkey and moist flavorful chicken, which puts me over the moon. This trip I ordered a turkey wrap (with avocado, cheese, lettuce and tomato) and this combination was terrific. Will return to try out all the different versions of wraps, yum!
