Firehouse had a location on both the Northbank (corner of Adams and Main) and the Southbank (Baptist) that have since closed.

I so seldom go downtown there's a very slim chance, but I do like Firehouse subs and if it were placed in the right area to take advantage of the downtown office lunch hour, it could get good traffic.

Looks like there's already a Jimmy Johns, Quiznos, Akel's Deli, and Desert Rider, so there's already plenty of sandwich shops, but with the colsure of the SUbway storefront there may be room for a Firehouse.

I would not go out of my way to get a Firehouse sub downtown, though

Imagine all the opportunities that would exist if JTA spent a few million to add a no-frills station in Brooklyn instead of sinking ferries, mismanaging public works grants, and building concrete shoeboxes for manned ambulances to hide from the rain.
