Training 

Firehouse Subs provides an extensive training program to ensure franchisees have the skills and knowledge needed for effective operation. Here's an overview of their training process:

Before the restaurant opens, the franchisee, their Managing Owner, and an additional employee or owner participate in Firehouse Subs' initial training program.

The training program lasts about 6 to 8 weeks. The first 6-7 weeks are held at one of Firehouse Subs' Training Restaurants or another designated location. The final week of classroom training is conducted virtually through Fire Academy and online meetings.

The comprehensive training program includes:

• Skills Training Modules: 144 hours of on-the-job training.
• Administration Training: 96 hours of hands-on training.
• Management Operations and Leadership Training: 96 hours of practical training.
• Franchisee Classroom Sessions: 24 hours of virtual classroom sessions.

Territory Protection

You will not be granted an exclusive territory with Firehouse Subs. This means you may encounter competition from other franchisees, Firehouse Subs-owned outlets, or other distribution channels and competitive brands managed by Firehouse Subs.

If you operate a Concession Shop, you must submit all intended locations for Firehouse Subs' written approval in advance.

Generally, Firehouse Subs will not approve the operation of a Concession Shop within two miles of an established permanent Full Shop location. The Franchise Agreement authorizes you to manufacture and sell Approved Products at retail exclusively from the specific Shop location that Firehouse Subs has accepted.
