Jersey Mike's Subs Stock JMKE

Who here remembers Blimpie?
They were one of the originals to slice the meat as needed (when they were building your sandwich). I really liked them. Back when I was a little twit in high school listening to Rush Limbaugh (about on par for a 16 y/o brain) he used to advertise for them.
 
Jersey Mike's started in Point Pleasant Borough, NJ. I was in high school and every other Wednesday we had half days for teacher in-service or some such thing.
My buddy had a house in Pt. Pleasant so we'd put our surfboards in his yellow Ford Econoline van...head down the GS Parkway and surf. When we were finished it was head over to Mike's in the Borough and get our subs. It was awesome. Roast beef with tomatoes,onions and mayo for me.
I don't know when or how it franchised out and became what it is now.
 
Our primary home is 35 miles outside of Philly. Our beach house is in Cape May County NJ. Both areas are a target rich environment for the best hoagies and cheesesteaks anywhere...safe to add pizza to that mix for that matter. There's a chain that does a respectable job in the region too though...Primo Hoagies.
 
I've got one 45 miles away. It gives me a little taste of ''home'' option when I'm down that way since I've moved into the NYS ADK.. Super Mikes way with the juice for me.
Now if they had a Taylor ham sub I'd really be happy.
 
Jersey Mike’s sandwiches are well above average.

The key to JM is to bring your own drink and chips, JM charges a premium for drinks, and the chips they sell are tiny in content.
OMG yes their chips and drink are absurd. I noticed at the local JM while waiting for my order… almost nobody gets them.

While when I used to go to Subway I think at least 50% of people did chips and/or drink.

Has anyone tried Subway cookies recently? I remember them being yummy.

They are about 30% higher than Lenny's by me. I didn't think it was worth the extra cost. Lenny's is also closer and has Miss Vickie's jalapeno chips.

I also miss Quiznos. Ate there a lot working oil and gas in the late 2000's.
