If you've ever ordered from Jersey Mike's, you're probably no stranger to its tasty subs, along with the sticker shock from the high prices, especially compared to other chains like Subway or Jimmy John's. Why the sandwich shop is so expensive is largely up for debate. Jersey Mike's high prices might come down to its use of quality, fresh ingredients, supported by the shop's slogans like "made right in front of you," "authentic," and "a sub above."
