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.
Jessica Hammond owns the franchise, one of 600 around the country, with her husband, Doug. With a background in food and beverages, the couple always wanted to own their own place, but thought buying a known commodity would be better than launching an independent store. They enjoyed eating at Firehouse Subs in Florida while visiting relatives.
"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.
