Grand Opening: New Restaurant on Wade Green Road in Kennesaw

Firehouse Subs will hold the grand opening of its second location in Kennesaw on Friday, Jan. 3.

Founded by former firefighting brothers, the restaurant’s firehouse décor is based on the founding family’s decades of fire and police service.

The new location is decorated with firefighter memorabilia from Cobb County Fire Station No. 26.

The restaurant is located at 4250 Wade Green Road and open seven days a week from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Firehouse Subs restaurants boast a custom, hand-painted mural that pays tribute to the local community. The Kennesaw mural features the Cobb County fire truck with the Kennesaw State Owl flying over a reenactment of the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain. Chief Mural Artist Joe Puskas and his team paint every mural from his studio at Firehouse Subs Headquarters.

Firehouse Subs serves medium and large hot specialty subs, including the number one selling, Hook & Ladder sub, served with smoked turkey breast and Virginia honey ham smothered with Monterey Jack cheese. Other top sellers include the Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket with beef brisket and topped with melted cheddar cheese and a special combination of sauces, including Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce. The New York Steamer combines corned beef brisket and pastrami topped with melted provolone.

In 2005, Firehouse Subs created the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation with the mission of providing funding, life-saving equipment and educational opportunities to first responders and public safety organizations. Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation has given $8.3 million to hometown heroes in 39 states and Puerto Rico, including more than $683,000 to Georgia.

Local fundraising initiatives include recycling empty five-gallon pickle buckets and selling them to guests for $2 each, a Round Up Program allowing guests to “round up” their bill to the nearest dollar, and spare change donation canisters.
