Blackstone is another company that needs to get completely fricked.

So if you're an owner founder, did you just sign a non-compete contract, or can you wait a year or two and then go out and do it well again?

Time to get your wives back in the kitchen and making your sandwiches, the way nature intended.

The fact that Blackstone is considered a private equity firm is ridiculous..

They’ll be like subway in short order. Less store staff, slower service, lower quality ingredients, skimpier and smaller subs. Higher prices.

The PE money guys are about to “analyze” JMs and milk the brand dry.

i freaking love the big kahuna steak sandwich as guilty treat, but the chicken sandwich is a 90% drop off in quality. Everybody that has had it says it's awful and i feel bad for enjoying my steak one while they misordered.

Has a PE firm ever actually improved a restaurant franchise?

Blackstone will then acquire the land or buildings these Jersey Mikes and raise the lease. Just look at how they destroyed red lobster. It's going to be the same MO

Typical non-compete for the sale of a business is 5 years

Cancro will continue leading the sandwich chain and will keep a "significant equity stake," according to Blackstone.


CEO and basically the founder staying on. There’s a little hope it doesn’t go to shite, at least for a while.

Blackstone does make a decent grill.
