Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Firehouse Subs, a national chain based in Jacksonville, Florida, has opened its first Colorado location at 10060 Grant Street, in Thornton. It features steamed subs with names like the Hook and Ladder, the Engineer and the Engine Company. Ordering one "fully involved" means your sandwich comes complete with mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion and a pickle on the side.
Firehouse Subs was founded by Robin and Chris Sorensen, two firefighting brothers from Jacksonville. It now operates 341 stores, most of them franchised, in more than fifteen states, primarily in the southeast and Midwest. The company plans to open 52 stores in the western market over the next seven years under the leadership of local franchise owners, Gary Gonzalez and Bruce Gerstein.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
