"Both Jersey Mike's employees and customers have asserted that the chain's giant subs are 14 to 15 inches long. This makes them double the size of a regular sub, which is 7-7.5 inches, and about triple the size of a mini sub, which is 4-5 inches. This means the giant subs are quite filling, though it doesn't seem the amount of filling is perfectly doubled."
"Jersey Mike's giant sub is quite large, but how large is it when compared to other popular sub sandwich chains? It's obviously bigger than Subway's biggest offering, which is famously a foot-long sandwich (Subway has even been adding new Footlong items, such as its Footlong Doritos offering.) Firehouse Subs' largest size is also 12 inches, which means that Jersey Mike's giant sandwich outdoes both of these chains."
Jersey Mike's offers sandwiches in mini, regular, and giant sizes, with giants measuring about 14 to 15 inches, regulars about 7 to 7.5 inches, and minis about 4 to 5 inches. The giant size equals roughly two regulars in length and about three minis. Filling does not scale perfectly: two regulars may provide slightly more meat and cheese than one giant. A Number Four regular contains about 810 calories while a giant contains about 1,530 calories, 90 calories less than double. A giant can be more cost-effective to split, and it exceeds the largest sizes at some competitors.
