The first Mike’s sub shop was opened in 1956 in the small town of Point Pleasant, New Jersey. Keep in mind, at that time there were very few franchise restaurants. The first shop had to serve the freshest ingredients and offer exceptional customer service to thrive.
Mike benefited from opening a shop in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. It was close to one hour south of New York City, one hour east of Philadelphia, and roughly three hours north of Maryland. During the warm summer months, tourists would travel to New Jersey to surf, swim, taste test seafood, and soak in the legendary Jersey Shore experience.
Approximately fifteen years after Mike’s sub shop opened its doors for business, a young high school student named Peter Cancro started working behind the counter. He loved his job. Cancro not only enjoyed making authentic subs but also interacting with customers. He took pride in learning a new fact about each customer he came in contact with.
When Cancro was a senior in high school, he heard that Mike was planning on selling the shop. Cancro had one goal in mind at 17 years old; purchase the sandwich shop. The only problem was he could not pay out of pocket. He went to his high school football coach and explained that he wanted to own Mike’s sub shop in Point Pleasant, NJ. His coach also happened to be a banker. With his coaches help, Cancro has able to obtain a loan to buy the sub shop.
Today, Peter Cancro is the CEO of Jersey Mike’s subs. He manages roughly 1,500 locations across the United States. Despite his title, Cancro has not lost his passion for socializing with customers. He will occasionally hop behind the counter to ask customers about their day.
