      It’s easier. Except instead of a bank loan, it’s raising money from a venture capitalist with better terms. There’s been multiple public companies by young founders that were funded this way, in the 2020s.

    His story reminds of the quote "To anyone who ever gave you confidence, you owe them so much." He is lucky to have a mother and a football coach (who happens to be a banker) who put so much confidence in him. And he paid that forward by trusting his employees as well by giving franchise rights to anyone interested. Seems like a legit good guy. Kudos!

    I grew up in the 70's at the shore a 5 minute bike ride from the original place. Lots of great subs in the northeast but Mike's was always the best. A full 12" sub with roast beef, turkey & bacon was like $8. Now it's almost $20?

    Inspiring and definitely highlights that this is no get rich quick scheme. Many highs and lows before you get to the top.

    If your in Philly or NY . Get your Hoagie at a local store. If your in another state their subs are better than most

    The cheesesteak cheese has to be made of gargoyle butter. It’s literally the most delicious disgusting gloopy powder I’ve ever eaten.
