Just months after&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/blackstone-acquires-majority-stake-in-jersey-mikes-signaling-ambitious-growth-plans-2727945#stories">finalizing a majority acquisition deal with private equity giant Blackstone</a>, the New Jersey-based sub chain is already pushing into new territory, both geographically and strategically.With over 2,600 locations across all 50 states,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-jersey-mikes-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2720908#stories">Jersey Mike’s</a> has experienced double-digit growth in recent years, opening about 300 stores annually.

The brand is also expanding beyond U.S. borders, having just opened its first stores in Canada through a partnership with Redberry Restaurants and aiming to open 10-15 more this year, particularly in Toronto.

Despite Blackstone’s majority stake, Cancro retains 10% ownership and continues to lead the brand.Jersey Mike’s evolution under Blackstone highlights how private equity can be a powerful catalyst for international franchising. By maintaining its existing leadership and focusing on franchisee relationships, the brand shows how scaling rapidly doesn’t have to mean compromising on quality or culture. This model could serve as a blueprint for other franchise systems navigating growth while preserving core values and operational standards.Read the original article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nrn.com/fast-casual/here-s-how-jersey-mike-s-is-faring-under-blackstone-ownership?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=jersey-mikes-blackstone-growth-2729044" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Every great franchisee had help buying a franchise.
