Sandwich Chain Opens First Location In Willoughby

WILLOUGHBY, OH — Firehouse Subs will open its first Willoughby location on May 11. The new location will be at 36161 Euclid Avenue.

The franchise is being opened by business partners Nick Kalafatis and Chris Compton. The pair own the only other east side Firehouse Subs, which is in Mayfield Heights.

“After being involved in the restaurant industry for years, we chose to join the Firehouse Subs family because we wanted something to call our own that our families could also be involved in,” said Kalafatis. “We connected to the family-owned brand and entire concept immediately – from the friendly atmosphere and high-quality food, to the brand’s commitment to serving the local community.”

The Willoughby Firehouse Subs restaurant will be open seven days a week. On Monday through Saturday, the restaurant will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. On Sunday, hours will be adjusted to 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Firehouse Subs created the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, which aids safety organizations throughout the nation. In Ohio, the foundation has awarded more than $1.5 million in grants. Kalafatis and Compton said they look forward to continuing their work with the foundation.
