Wow! Firehouse Subs Went Belly-Up In A Hurry
We stopped for a couple of good old Chicago hot dogs at Big City Grill yesterday and asked where their new shop would be on the Spanish Springs town square. They said right where Firehouse Subs used to be. It seems like Firehouse Subs only opened a few months ago, but I'll admit that time flies when you're having fun. We never did buy any subs there; maybe there were too many people like us. What the heck happened? The franchisee has another shop on 441. How come this one went belly up so quickly? They had to have a pretty good understanding of the market. Comments?

Firehouse subs are great in our neck of the woods.
However, I'm always partial to a Chicago hot dog. |

Re: Wow! Firehouse Subs Went Belly-Up In A Hurry
Wow, That was quick! Ate there twice. Great subs, but with TooJays across the street, they were faced with major competition. (pastrami at TooJays!) mmmmm Just my opinion. Also, I hear the rents are extremely high.....The Bistro is still empty!! With the economy slowing, and costs rising, I feel developer owned properties should charge rents, accordingly. Lets face it, an occupied building profits more than an empty one. Anyone trying to start a business here in TV must take into account the much slower summer season to thrive and support themselves. Just my personal opinion. Good luck to Big City Grill. I will check them out. Should I have a Chicago hot dog??

Have the Italian Beef sandwich with sweet peppers, light on the Au Jus (they will make it too sloppy if you let them). Also, ask for fresh French fries. Maybe the new store in SS will accept credit cards and have strictly Chicago scenes on the walls instead of having New York and Harlem in addition to the State Street scene.

Wow, gone before I could try them out!! I guess we all should have been a little more supportive. TooJay's was too much competition, I hope this never happens to them because I love their food.

I think Toojay's is good, but can't compare to New York Deli or Carnegie Deli. I love Big City Diner. Beef combo with sweet peppers and fries! Grew up on that in Chicago. :#1:

Never went back. Don't know why. I liked it. I like Mexican food. I ate at other places around the square. But I never went back to that place. :dontknow:

Re: Wow! Firehouse Subs Went Belly-Up In A Hurry
Muncle..It is very strange..I walked by Firehouse so many times and never stopped in either..Why is that?? I never even tried their subs..
We have been to every place on the square for lunch, but never tried Firehouse... The strange thing is, I never had a Firehouse sub..... :dontknow:

Firehouse Subs, they must not have had any two for one coupons available for the residents to use.

Re: Wow! Firehouse Subs Went Belly-Up In A Hurry
We have eaten at Firehouse Subs many times and think their great! For those who liked them there is one in the Lowe's plaza on 441.
However..... I may just be making a comparison to subs back home which I think are really bad. Dont care for upstate N.Y. subs at all altho Im sure there are those which will disagree with me.
