Jersey Mike’s is consistently ranked amongst the top 10 franchises in America in Entrepreneur Magazine's annual Franchise 500.

The growth is fueled by passionate Jersey Mike’s fans who crave their subs made Mike’s Way® with the freshest vegetables and The Juice: red wine vinegar and olive oil blended to perfection.

The company uses only premium meats and cheeses sliced on the spot and piled on delectable bread baked fresh in the restaurant throughout the day.
