Welcome to Multinational Mike’s

Everyday it becomes clearer the only people who believe this are useful idiots and their rulers.
Shit.... the quality is gonna drop to cardboard and sawdust isn't it?
Already did
It's the way of capitalism.
The worst way there is, lol
Oof. I’m assuming this means they will plummet to subway quality before too long.
It’s unfortunate, Jersey mikes is one of my favorite sandwich shops.
Subway quality with jersey mikes pricing.
You can see why investors are interested.
Absolutely. They will destroy that franchise and make a killing.
Coming soon from Berkshire Hathaway, Meal deal of 2 pieces of cardboard, loaded with extra packing peanuts, and a small water for $18!
Gonna do Raven Sable’s work for him
I hope they change the name to Subway 2
Subway 2: Even Subbier
When the meatball was out, so was I. That was long ago
Who the fuck is Jersey Mike's.
And why the fuck are they worth 8 billion?
If only there was an article you could read to answer these questions….
There might be, somewhere.
But not at the end of that hyperlink.
Who's Jersey Mike's...what? His wife? Drug dealer? Finish your question.
