On-site interviews will be conducted following local and state COVID-19 safety protocols. Outdoor interviews will be conducted based on restaurant location.

A portion of every purchase at all U.S. Firehouse Subs restaurants benefits Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, which has granted more than $57 million to first responders and public safety organizations across the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada. Donations help the Foundation achieve its mission of providing lifesaving equipment and resources to first responders and public safety organizations across the country.

“Our brand is lucky to be in a position where we can expand our restaurant teams and create opportunities within our local communities during these challenging times,” said Firehouse Subs Chief Executive Officer Don Fox. “Our restaurant owners are passionate about heartfelt service and hearty, flavorful food, and we’re excited to welcome new team members who share those values.”

Many Firehouse Subs franchisees started their restaurant careers as crew members or general managers who advanced through the ranks and achieved their dreams of becoming entrepreneurs.

“I started working at Firehouse Subs as a crew member in high school,” said Perry, Georgia Franchisee Will Stilley. “After serving in the U.S. Army for more than 10 years, I had the opportunity to return to the brand as a restaurant owner. It’s extremely fulfilling to be part of a brand that is so invested in its team members and making a positive impact across the country.”
