PG1 Restaurants was founded in 2015 with a simple but powerful purpose: to build exceptional restaurant brands while developing exceptional people. What began with Jersey Mike’s Subs has grown into a multi-concept restaurant group, adding Dave’s Hot Chicken in 2025 and welcoming Mike’s Red Tacos in 2026.
At the heart of everything we do are our core values:
-
Protect and Promote Our Culture
-
Be Coachable
-
Positivity & Progress with a Purpose
-
Mentor the Next Generation of Restaurant Leaders
-
Spirit of Giving, Give to Give
-
Operate with Compassion and Integrity
More than anything, PG1 is committed to mentoring the next generation of restaurant leaders. We believe great brands are built by great people, and our greatest impact comes from coaching, developing, and empowering our teams to grow personally and professionally.
With 4 founders and 5 operating partners, we are united by a shared belief that our success is measured not just by the restaurants we open, but by the leaders we build and the communities we serve.
