Firehouse Subs, founded in Jacksonville, FL by former firefighting brothers Robin and Chris Sorensen, is a fast-casual restaurant chain that specializes in hot subs, made right. We serve large portions of premium meats and cheeses, “steamed” hot and placed atop fresh produce on a toasted sub roll. Each restaurant offers a family-oriented dining atmosphere, complete with an authentic firefighter theme that celebrates local firefighting history, as well as the founding family’s 200 years of firefighting service. Firehouse Subs is the “National Chain” winner of the National Restaurant Association’s (NRA) Restaurant Neighbor Award for community service.
In addition, Firehouse Subs has been named to Entrepreneur magazine’s “Franchise 500” and “Fastest Growing Franchise” rankings from 2006-2010, Franchise Times “Next Top 100 Franchises in 2010, #1 on Fast Casual Magazine’s 2011 list of “Top 100 Movers & Shakers,” and among the leading five concepts for the “Top Service Among Large Chains” in the 2010 Zagat Fast Food Survey, among others.
