Jersey Mike's Submarines & Salads Celebrates National Hoagie Day

Despite what MTV might have you believe, there are some good things that come from the Jersey Shore. Take Jersey Mike's Subs for example. The first location, originally called Mike's Subs, was created in 1956 in Point Pleasant, N.J. and was founded by a man named Mike. High schooler Peter Cancro was one of the shop's employees and had been in the sub business for years, starting when he was just 14 years old. When Cancro overheard the owner discussing selling his business, he reached out to his football coach to ask for advice. The coach believed in Cancro and loaned him money to buy the concept. At the age of 17, he bought the original location -- before he could even legally operate a slicing machine. Franchising since 1987, the company is ranked No. 21 on Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 list for 2017.
