JERSEY MIKE'S franchise in Minnesota: what the public record shows
Franchisees of JERSEY MIKE'S in Minnesota have taken 16 SBA loans since 1991 (average $584,037)— too few resolved loans in-state to publish a local failure rate (we require a resolved cohort, never extrapolate), so the brand's national rate of 4.1% is the better guide. Its latest FDD Item 20 state table reports 63 franchised outlets in Minnesota (fiscal 2025) — about 1.09 per 100k residents.
