Original,
unused Jersey Mike's
giant size submarine sandwich bag with map locating the company's
1956 start-up location — Point Pleasant, New Jersey.
- This bag measures a generous
17½" x 4"
and includes the Jersey Mike's slogan "Famous since '56."
- This bag was designed
to hold a Jersey Mike's giant size submarine sandwich, an offering
known by other names in other places — a
grinder in New England, a hoagie in Philadelphia, a hero in New York,
and a po'boy
in New Orleans.
- Condition: It is in excellent
condition, bright and clean, with no
rips, tears, or writing. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any
questions.
- This bag features an outline map of the Garden State and
is clearly not the oldest or rarest among our recently listed maps, but
more of a curiosity or novelty, one of the many forms and variations
in which maps can be enjoyed as collectibles and objects of interest in
a range of categories including maps on postcards, placemats, napkins,
postage stamps, tee shirts, key fobs,
shower curtains, ashtrays, refrigerator magnets, jigsaw puzzles, and
playing cards.

A bit of background: Jersey Mike’s originally
began as Mike's Subs in 1956 and was popular among beachgoers who
visited the
Jersey shore. An employee subsequently bought the
business, opened a few more
Mike's Subs, and later began franchising. In 1987 the business was
rebranded
as Jersey Mike's, to better connect the chain with its roots in Point
Pleasant.
