Firehouse Subs Brings The Heat To Southern Idaho With Plans For 12 Restaurants

Nationwide restaurant chain, Firehouse Subs, plans to open 12 restaurants throughout Southern Idaho, targeting the areas of Boise, Twin Falls and Idaho Falls. Renowned for hearty, oversized portions and steaming hot subs, Firehouse Subs is a 600-unit fast casual restaurant chain founded in Jacksonville, Fla., by former firefighting brothers Chris Sorensen and Robin Sorensen. The region's first Firehouse Subs restaurant will open in Boise during spring 2013, and plans for a seven-year total market build-out are currently underway.

Setting each town ablaze with new restaurants is veteran Area Representative Randy Judd. More than 25 years of restaurant experience arm Judd with the skill set needed to successfully expand the Firehouse Subs brand into Idaho. Three years ago, Judd became the area representative for Utah were he has successfully opened four restaurants and has another three under development. As area representative for Idaho, Judd intends to turn the Gem State into a thriving Firehouse Subs franchise territory.

"With Firehouse Subs, franchisees have the ability to be in business for themselves, but not by themself," said Randy Judd. "The brand provides its franchisees with an incredible level of support and we believe the Idaho community will embrace our restaurants as those in Utah have." Judd's responsibilities include selling franchises and providing franchisees the overall marketing and operational support in their respective markets. This entrepreneurial model provides a caliber of support and continuity of relationships that cannot be achieved through traditional franchising models.

Validating the brand's success and reputation for superior food, Firehouse Subs has achieved several industry acknowledgments including: No. 1 Fast-Food Sandwich � Zagat No. 1 Chain Restaurant Consumers' Choice Awards for Fast Casual Category service � Technomic No. 1 Consumer Picks in the sandwich category � Nation's Restaurant News No. 1 2012 Franchisee Satisfaction Award � Franchise Business Review, Food & Beverage No. 1 of 2011 Movers & Shakers � FastCasual.com 2011 Operator of the Year, CEO Don Fox � Nation's Restaurant News For more information about Firehouse Subs, please visit www.firehousesubs.com, www.facebook.com/firehousesubs or follow on Twitter at @firehousesubs.
