The shop, which he ended up renaming Jersey Mike's Subs, has since made him a billionaire.
The deal reportedly valued Jersey Mike's Subs at around $8 billion including debt, bumping Cancro's net worth to estimated $7.5 billion, according to Bloomberg.
The night his mom suggested he buy the business he'd been working at since he was 14, he laughed, Cancro told Forbes in August.
He called the restaurant owner the next day and the owner told Cancro he had a week to find $125,000, Cancro told "The Jedburgh Podcast" in 2021.
Cancro became the sole owner of Mike's Subs before even graduating from high school.
