Jersey Mike's Files for IPO $8 billion — that's Jersey Mike's valuation after Blackstone deal. Here's what happened: • Jersey Mike's has confidentially filed for an initial public offering, the company said on Monday, after Blackstone bought a majority stake in the sandwich chain in 2024 in a deal that valued the company at roughly $8 billion. • With more than 3,000 locations nationwide, Jersey Mike's is the second-largest hoagie sandwich chain in the U.S., trailing only Subway. • Jersey Mike's reported revenue of $309.8 million in 2025, up 10.6% from the prior year, according to franchise disclosure documents. • The chain also reported net income of $183.6 million in 2025, down from the prior year's net income of $238.8 million.
