Jersey Mike’s Debuts on NYSE with Big IPO Push
Jersey Mike's Subs began trading on the NYSE as JMKE, raising about $1B and valuing the company at roughly $7.3B after selling 43.5M shares; with nearly 3,300 locations, it’s the largest publicly traded hoagie chain and among the biggest U.S. restaurant IPOs. The stock opened around $21 (vs $23 IPO price) and has fallen about 2% since; proceeds will pay down debt and fund international expansion toward a 15,000-restaurant goal. CEO Charlie Morrison says a higher-income customer base helps weather dining trends, and the deal signals a positive path for other consumer IPOs.
