Ordering your favorite Jersey Mike’s sub and noticing it’s a little skimpier? You’re not imagining things—after Blackstone’s $8 billion takeover, fans are buzzing about smaller portions for the same price. It’s part of a bigger trend: private equity firms are snapping up sandwich chains and pushing for rapid growth, often by cutting costs and standardizing everything. That can mean less meat, fewer toppings, and a less personal touch. With subs now costing $9–$14, are we getting less for our money? Have you noticed changes at your local shop? Let’s swap stories and see if this is a nationwide trend or just bad luck! #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #JerseyMikes
