Jersey Mike's Targets $1.09 Billion IPO as 3,300-Store Chain Nears Historic Restaurant Debut

Summary
$1.09 billion in expected proceeds would make Jersey Mike's the second-largest US-listed restaurant IPO, behind only Arcos Dorados.
Roughly 3,300 locations and more than $4 billion in annual sales set Jersey Mike's apart from recent restaurant IPOs that went public much earlier in their growth cycles.
Blackstone's 2025 acquisition helped fund expansion and pushed the sandwich chain toward a valuation more typical of an established public company than an emerging growth story.
The deal would mark the first marquee sandwich-chain IPO in a generation, in a sector where Subway, Jimmy John's and other major rivals have largely stayed off public markets.
