Firehouse Subs was founded in 2005 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. As Co-founders, Chris and Robin Sorensen, traveled back to Florida after feeding first responders and survivors in Mississippi, they knew they could do more and the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation was born. Today, more than $33 Million has been donated to public safety organizations through the foundation. If you have not tried a Firehouse Sub, we suggest you check out our location on Ed Drive in Raleigh, owned and operated by Franchisee Meador Brothers, LLC.
