Firehouse Subs’ place in the recession-resilient, fast-casual restaurant industry makes it a business that’s well-positioned to succeed no matter how the economy is doing. In fact, our top quartile of traditional development restaurants had an AUV of $1,342,585 for 2023*.
While there are a few financial qualifications we expect our franchisees to fulfill, we’re particularly interested in entrepreneurs who are a culture fit. The ideal Firehouse Subs franchise owner has a strong inner drive for excellence, is motivated and community-minded, and is devoted to the success of their restaurant. And, of course, they must love subs!

Freshly Made Sandwiches, Unbeatable Quality
Our approach to business is simple: treat people well and feed them well.
Everything we do – from delicious sandwiches served on our proprietary recipe sub rolls to authentic firefighting décor – is geared toward bringing people back again and again. At Firehouse Subs, we work hard to bring our customers the best sub sandwiches around, including our legendary Hook and Ladder®. Our subs are built with premium meats, cheeses, and produce and proteins are freshly sliced on a daily basis to ensure the best tasting product. We use a unique steaming process that makes the flavors of our premium meats and cheeses come alive! Whether your favorite sandwich is one of our signature hot specialty subs or a classic cold sub, our hearty portions and flavorful meats, cheeses, and toppings keep customers satisfied and hungry for more.
Public Safety Foundation
We’re proud of our sandwiches, but to us, it’s about a lot more than the food. Through the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, we’ve awarded over $86M across United States and Canada to improve the life-saving capabilities of local first responders. Every Firehouse Subs franchise location is committed to public safety and heartfelt service.
