Firehouse subs was founded by co-owners and brothers Robin and Chris Sorenson who based the restaurants on their love for cooking and fellowship, and their passion for serving customers. The brothers grew up in a family-owned retail television business in Jacksonville, Florida, where they learned from an early age that you have to take care of the customer. After several business ventures both separate and apart the brothers identified that subs were becoming a popular niche and knew that they could create a product that was better than what was currently available. They began by making a list of the things that they would have to do different to separate themselves from the competition. The idea or Firehouse subs was drawn out on a napkin in a competitors parking lot that same day.

They decided that they would serve hearty subs with high quality meats and cheeses. It took them two years to find the right products. They utilized holidays as tasting parties to get input from both their family members and friends. Rather than heating their subs with a microwave like their competitors they chose to steam their meats and cheeses which added moisture. Steaming the meat and cheese made the flavor burst and once they tasted it they knew that there was nothing else like it. Get the original flavor of the firehouse with coupons for Firehouse Subs.

When it came time to choose a theme the brothers sought to find something that people can relate to and that was authentic. Their father served 43 years as a combat captain and their family had more than 200 years of public service as firefighters. It is a theme that was personal to them but was appealing to people of all ages, and is embraced in every community. Many people were skeptical, but the negative energy only fueled their passion. The first day’s staff was comprised of family members that had little or no restaurant experience. Firehouse subs is celebrating 14 years in business, and has opened more than 350 restaurants in 19 states. The brothers have gone from working in the restaurant to now working in the corporate office, where they have more than 40 dedicated staff members.
