  Mr. PALLONE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Peter Cancro and 
his exemplary service to his community. Mr. Cancro is the founder and 
CEO of Jersey Mike's Subs, a sandwich franchise with more than 400 
stores open and under development nationwide. Based in Manasquan, New 
Jersey, Jersey Mike's has a long history of community involvement and 
support.
  Peter Cancro began his sandwich franchise at the age of 17 when he 
purchased the sandwich shop he worked in during high school. Since 
then, he has expanded the store to the rest of the nation, and he has 
turned his humble sandwich shop into a profitable, nationwide

franchise. Despite his title as CEO of the company, Mr. Cancro still 
enjoys jumping behind the counter to test his skills and demonstrate 
his passion for the product and the customer. He tries to instill this 
same passion into every Jersey Mike's store that he opens around the 
Nation.
  Mr. Cancro has successfully spread his mission to bring customers the 
highest quality, freshest made sub in the industry and give back to the 
communities in which the company operates. In addition to delivering a 
quality product to customers around the nation, Mr. Cancro also 
actively contributes to his community. That is why he strongly 
encourages all of his employees at Jersey Mike's to become involved in 
their respective communities in order to build a more lasting 
relationship with their customers.
  Madam Speaker, I sincerely hope that my colleagues will join me in 
thanking Mr. Cancro for his service to his community and to communities 
across the nation. His accomplishments will continue to benefit and 
inspire my constituents, as well as his many colleagues and friends for 
years to come.
