with gallery: Firehouse Subs adds to fast-food choices on William Street
Posted: May 15, 2013
Firehouse Subs, which opened March 11, is the latest restaurant to occupy a strip on William Street that is becoming crowded with fast-food options, catering to the student crowd.

"Firehouse was a good fit for us" and sales from those located near campuses are usually much higher than those not, Jessica said. As a result, the University of Michigan setting was a perfect fit, she said.
