Jersey Mike's nearest audiences span retail, personal care, and apparel — not other sandwich chains. The top 10 neighbors form a wide, mixed cluster with no single dominant pull, consistent with the flat shape of this similarity graph.
Pet Supplies & Services leads at 0.93, followed closely by Michaels Stores (0.92), HomeGoods (0.92), and Mattress Firm (0.91) — all Retail subcategories spanning pet supplies, hobbies and crafts, home goods, and furniture. The only Fast Casual Dining neighbor in the top 10 is Five Guys at 0.89, making it the lone same-kind match in the set. Massage Envy (0.89) and Office Supplies & Services (0.88) extend the cluster further into personal services and business retail. Petco (0.88) and Panera Bread (0.88) — the latter a Casual Dining entry, not Fast Casual — round out the ten, with White House Black Market (0.88) in Women's Apparel closing the set.
The subcategory distribution across the top 10 is notably cross-kind: seven of the ten neighbors are Retail or Services entities, and only one shares Jersey Mike's own Fast Casual Dining subcategory. The audience shape here tracks with strip-mall and suburban retail patterns broadly, not with the restaurant category specifically.
This flat, cross-category spread suggests Jersey Mike's audience overlaps with a wide range of brick-and-mortar consumer brands rather than clustering tightly around food or dining.
