Jersey Mike’s Day of Giving, an annual occasion where local owners and operators donate all of their resources and every dollar that comes in – not just profit – to neighborhood charities, celebrates its 13th anniversary this year.
Background and History of Jersey Mike’s \sJersey Peter Cancro, who started working at the original Point Pleasant, New Jersey location when he was 14 years old, founded Mike’s Subs. When he was 17 years old, the second owner of the business decided to sell, and Cancro used assistance from one of his high school teachers to purchase the business. The chain of sub restaurants has expanded significantly since then, and the business is dedicated to supporting the neighborhood.
