Firehouse Subs was established in Jacksonville, Florida, with the first restaurant opening its doors on October 10, 1994. The founders, Chris and Robin Sorensen, were former firefighters who aimed to create a restaurant that would pay homage to the brave men and women in the fire service.

Firehouse Subs offers a wide variety of delicious submarine sandwiches, made with high-quality ingredients. Some of their most popular sandwiches include:
