Renowned for hearty, oversized portions and piping hot subs, Firehouse Subs has blazed a path for the Turkey Bacon Ranch, the newest addition to the menu in nearly two years. The Turkey Bacon Ranch is made with smoked turkey breast, bacon, sharp cheddar cheese topped with peppercorn ranch and piled high atop a toasted sub roll.
This is the first addition to the menu since early 2009, when the chain introduced the Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket, a menu favorite. Prior to launching the Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket, Firehouse Subs had not added a new menu item in nearly 10 years.
“Before our last menu addition in 2009, it had been 10 years since we added a new sub to the menu,” said co-founder, Robin Sorensen. “We take great time and consideration when making changes to our menu, and with confidence we are ready to introduce the Turkey Bacon Ranch, one of our best yet.”
Firehouse Subs features Specialty Subs, such as the original menu favorites, the No. 1 selling Hook & Ladder known as the “Best Sub in Town,” and the New York Steamer, both named after fire trucks. The Hook & Ladder includes Smoked Turkey and Virginia Honey Ham smothered with Monterey Jack cheese. The New York Steamer, inspired by New York delicatessens, combines corned beef brisket and pastrami topped with Provolone. All large Specialty Subs boast a half-pound of meat. Firehouse Subs’ intense flavors result from a unique steaming method, which perfectly complements the natural qualities of the premium meats and cheeses.
The Chief’s Salad and hearty, award-winning Firehouse Chili provide additional flavorful options, as does the top selling non-carbonated fountain drink, Cherry Lime-Aid, an exclusive original recipe of fresh squeezed lime, blended cherries, simple syrup and ice. Children enjoy Dalmatian-spotted tabletops and a complimentary kid-sized fire hat at each location.
Firehouse Subs, founded in Jacksonville, Fla., by former firefighting brothers Chris Sorensen and Robin Sorensen, is a 400-unit fast-casual restaurant chain. Firehouse Subs offers oversized portions of premium hand-sliced meats and cheeses, steamed to make the flavors burst, then piled high with fresh produce atop a toasted sub roll. The restaurants reflect the authentic firefighter heritage, as well as the founding family’s 200 years of firefighting service. Firehouse Subs was also named “National Chain” winner of the National Restaurant Association’s (NRA) Restaurant Neighbor Award for their overall dedication to community service.
In 2005, Firehouse Subs created the non-profit, Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, with the mission to provide funding, life-saving equipment, and educational opportunities to aid first-responders. Through the non-profit 501(c)(3), Firehouse Subs has given more than $2 million to hometown heroes, including fire and police departments and EMT organizations.
