Firehouse Subs

The opening of the Syracuse area’s first Firehouse Subs location has been pushed back slightly. The chain planned to have its first local store open around Labor Day. The opening is now planned for the first week of October, a spokeswoman for the company said in an email. Firehouse Subs will open in a former RadioShack location at 5308 W. Genesee St. in Camillus. The chain wants to open several more locations in the Syracuse area. Firehouse got its start in 1994. A pair of former firefighters, brothers Chris and Robin Sorensen, founded the company. The restaurants specialize in hot subs, but have cold options as well. The menu includes items like the Firehouse Meatball, Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket and New York Steamer. The chain is in serious growth mode. It has 895 locations now, with plans to grow to 2,000 by 2020.
