Jersey Mike's has expanded rapidly over the last decade, growing from 857 stores in 2014 to more than 2,800 this year.
A new, unopened Jersey Mike's location is seen on Fulton Street in the Manhattan borough of New York Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2024. In the transaction announced Tuesday, private equity funds managed by Blackstone will be used to acquire majority ownership of Jersey Mike’s. The deal is “intended to help enable Jersey Mike’s to accelerate its expansion across and beyond the U.S. market,” the companies said, as well as aid ongoing technological investments.
The acquisition of the private company is expected to close in early 2025, subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions. Under terms of the agreement, Jersey Mike’s founder and CEO Peter Cancro will continue to lead the business and maintains a “significant equity stake” in the chain, the companies said.
Jersey Mike’s roots date back to 1956, with a Point Pleasant, New Jersey storefront location that was originally called Mike’s Subs. In 1975, Cancro, then a 17-year-old high school senior who had worked there since he was 14, bought the operation with the help of his football coach. Jersey Mike’s posted sales of $3.3 billion in 2023, up 25% from the prior year, according to Technomic. It’s the 30th largest chain in the U.S. based on annual sales.
