A Firehouse Subs location in Menomonee Falls will once again celebrate the work of area firefighters while offering up sandwiches.
The restaurant at N92-W16135 Falls Parkway closed a few months ago, but is being reopened by franchisees Eric Erwin, Don Davey and Scott Anthony. This is their fifth location together.
Erwin is the area representative for the state, working since 2012 to identify and mentor new franchisees to develop the area, now totaling 17 Firehouse Subs restaurants. Davey grew up in Manitowoc and played football for the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He went on to play five seasons with the Green Bay Packers. Davey fell in love with Firehouse Subs as a defensive lineman for the Jacksonville Jaguars and was determined to bring the brand to his home state , according to a news release. After retiring from a 10-year NFL career, he partnered with Erwin and Anthony to bring the restaurant chain to Central Florida and Wisconsin.
