Firehouse Subs, the popular American sandwich chain, is set to make its debut in South America, with plans to open more than 500 restaurants across Brazil over the next decade. The first restaurant is expected to launch in 2025, marking the brand's entry into the Brazilian market.
Founded in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1994 by two former firefighter brothers, Firehouse Subs has built a reputation for its premium sandwiches, made using a unique steaming method that enhances the flavors of meats and cheeses. The brand combines hearty portions, heartfelt service, and a commitment to public safety, frequently ranking highly in U.S. consumer surveys for food quality and taste in the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) category.
The expansion into Brazil is part of a joint venture supported by parent company Restaurant Brands International (RBI), one of the world's largest QSR companies, in partnership with Iuri Miranda, former CEO and board member of Zamp S.A., master franchisee of Burger King® and Popeyes® in Brazil. Leveraging RBI's global infrastructure and expertise in digital strategy and international development, combined with Miranda's deep understanding of the Brazilian QSR market, Firehouse Subs aims to capture Brazil's growing sandwich market.
Thiago Santelmo, President of RBI International, expressed excitement about introducing Firehouse Subs to Brazil, a key market in the growing sandwich category. He believes that the brand has an exciting runway for growth and has set ambitious expansion plans around the world.
Iuri Miranda, Partner and Chief Executive Officer, Firehouse Subs Brazil, added that the launch will contribute to the creation of thousands of jobs over the next decade and will elevate the sandwich experience in the country. He looks forward to serving Brazilian guests with heartfelt service and a focus on flavor.
Guests in Brazil can look forward to enjoying signature Firehouse Subs products, such as the Hook & LadderTM, Firehouse ItalianTM, and the Firehouse Beef & Cheddar BrisketTM, all in an enriched in-store and digital dining experience.
