Firehouse Subs announces the opening of its first location in Lone Tree Dec. 19. The authentic firehouse setting is based on the founders' 200 years of firefighting heritage, and the new location is decorated with local firefighter memorabilia.

Each Firehouse Subs boasts a custom, hand-painted mural and this location pays tribute to the Lone Tree Library and the South Metro Fire Rescue. Firehouse Subs Lone Tree is at 9992 Commons Street and is open Monday through Sunday 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Franchisees Jessica and Todd Gimbel dined at Firehouse Subs twice a week while living in Arkansas. After moving back to Colorado, they realized their desire to bring the brand to their hometown.
