Jersey Mike's vs Subway: Price and Portion
This is the most-searched comparison in the category, and most answers to it are marketing rather than arithmetic.
On price
Subway is cheaper on a like-for-like regular, typically by around a dollar. It also runs promotions far more aggressively, so the effective gap at any given moment is often wider.
On portion and preparation
Portions run heavier at Jersey Mike's, and meat is sliced to order rather than pre-sliced. On price per ounce of finished sandwich the gap narrows considerably and in some comparisons closes entirely.
Subway offers more customisation on bread and vegetables; Jersey Mike's offers a stronger default preparation in Mike's Way.
Which to choose
Subway if you are optimising purely for cost, want a specific bread, or there is a promotion running.
Jersey Mike's if you are ordering a cured-meat sub, where freshly sliced meat makes the clearest difference, or splitting a giant.
