Firehouse Subs® announced the grand opening of its first location in Rockingham, North Carolina, at 1355 E. Broad Ave., Unit A. The restaurant opened its doors to the public on Thursday, June 25, under the ownership of Firehouse Subs Franchisee Larry Chandler. The restaurant offers steamed-to-perfection subs to go via its drive-thru, online ordering through the Firehouse Subs app or website, call-in phone orders, third party delivery and takeout service at the counter inside. Following state and local regulations, the dining room is open at 50% capacity and outdoor patio seating will be available as well. This is the 31st Firehouse Subs restaurant for Chandler, a 35-year restaurant industry veteran who has been growing the brand across the Carolinas for more than 10 years. “I’m truly honored to begin serving new guests and friends in Rockingham in our drive-thru and safely in our dining room,” said Chandler. “I love communities like the one we have here, and am looking forward to our team showing them what Heartfelt Service looks like through our hot subs and Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation.” Chandler is dedicated to sharing the brand’s commitment to giving back through Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, which has granted more than $1.8 million in North Carolina. Since March 18, Firehouse Subs restaurants, the Foundation and community partners have donated more than 85,000 meals to local first responders, healthcare workers and people in need. A portion of every purchase at any Firehouse Subs in the U.S. benefits the Foundation, helping achieve its mission of providing lifesaving equipment, funding and education to first responders and public safety organizations across the country. The Rockingham Firehouse Subs restaurant is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. It will offer third-party delivery and in-house catering services to accommodate occasions of all sizes, from office meetings to family gatherings. Firehouse Subs serves a variety of hot specialty subs, piled high with premium meats and cheeses that are sliced fresh daily in-restaurant and steamed together to bring out the ingredients’ natural flavors, served “Fully Involved®” with fresh produce and condiments. In addition to its signature subs, the restaurant offers a variety of catering options from sandwich and dessert platters to salads and snacks to fuel any occasion. Founded by former firefighting brothers, the Rockingham restaurant décor reflects the founding family’s decades of fire and police service with gear and photos donated by the local fire department. It boasts a custom, hand-painted mural by Chief Mural Artist Joe Puskas, featuring Rockingham Speedway and hometown heroes. Since the opening of the first Firehouse Subs in 1994, Puskas and his team have painted more than 1,165 murals from his studio at Firehouse Subs Headquarters in Jacksonville, Fla. In 2005, the Firehouse Subs founders established the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation with the mission of providing funding, lifesaving equipment and educational opportunities to first responders and public safety organizations. The 501(c)(3) Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation has granted more than $51 million to hometown heroes in 49 states, Puerto Rico and Canada. Each restaurant recycles five-gallon pickle buckets, available to guests for a $3 donation to the Foundation. Donation canisters on register counters explain the nonprofit’s mission and collect spare change, while the Round Up Program allows guests to “round up” their bill to the nearest dollar. All funds raised benefit the Foundation.
