    About Jersey Mike's Submarines & Salads

    The first Jersey Mike's Super Sub was created in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, on the Jersey Shore in 1956. Peter Cancro started working in the submarine sandwich business when he was 14 years old. At the age of 17, before state law allowed him to operate a slicing machine, Cancro bought the original Jersey Mike's location. Since it started franchising in 1987, Jersey Mike's has grown to more than 150 franchises.
