A native of Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, Peter Cancro began working at a sandwich place called Mike's Submarines when he was 14 years old in 1971. That was his first real job, and during his senior year of high school, he found out that the shop owners, two brothers, were looking to sell. The selling price was $125,000, so Peter's mother suggested that he should buy it.

Peter Cancro then purchased the shop for $125,000, which is equal to $700,000 to $800,000 today, as per Forbes magazine. But as he was the new owner of the business, he had to halt his plan to study law at the University of North Carolina. But it was worth the risk.
