About Me

Peter Cancro is the chairman of popular sandwich chain Jersey Mike's. The Tinton Falls, New Jersey-based business recorded $4.2 billion in systemwide sales from more than 3,200 stores in 2025. It all started in 1972 when Cancro, then 14, got a job at Mike's Subs in his hometown of Point Pleasant, New Jersey. Three years later, the store came up for sale and Cancro borrowed $125,000 from his football coach to buy it. In 1981, Cancro changed the name to Jersey Mike's and began franchising across the U.S. Cancro sold a majority stake in Jersey Mike's to Blackstone in early 2025. The chain went pubic in July 2026; Cancro still owns around 10%.
