Local Restaurateurs with Decades of Industry Experience Open Sixth Firehouse Subs Restaurant in Myrtle Beach

Restaurant Features Drive Thru For Quick, Easy Takeout

August 17, 2020 // Franchising.com // MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - Firehouse Subs announces the grand opening of its newest location in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, at 3068 Dick Pond Road, Unit 3. The restaurant will open its doors to the public on Monday, August 17, under the ownership of Firehouse Subs Franchisees Larry Chandler and Jody Chandler. This is the sixth Firehouse Subs restaurant in the Grand Strand.

In total, the Chandlers own and operate 32 Firehouse Subs restaurants, and have been growing the brand across the Carolinas together for more than 14 years. Larry Chandler had more than 15 years of experience in the restaurant industry when he purchased his first location in 2004. His nephew Jody Chandler came on board in 2006 to help spread their passion for hospitality, high quality sandwiches and giving back to first responders.

“We’re thrilled to serve the Myrtle Beach community through hearty, flavorful food and heartfelt service at our newest restaurant,” said Larry Chandler. “Whether our guests pick up their food in our drive thru or dine in with us, we look forward to greeting them with the genuine hospitality Firehouse Subs is known for.”

The new Myrtle Beach Firehouse Subs restaurant is open from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week. The restaurant will offer steamed-to-perfection subs to go via its drive thru, online ordering through the Firehouse Subs app or website, call-in phone orders or takeout service at the counter inside. It also offers third-party delivery and in-house catering services to accommodate occasions of all sizes, from office meetings to family gatherings. Following state and local regulations, the dining room will be open at limited capacity in addition to outdoor seating.

The Chandlers are dedicated to sharing the brand’s commitment to giving back through Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, which has granted more than $1.9 million in South Carolina. A portion of every sale at any Firehouse Subs in the U.S. benefits the Foundation, allowing the Foundation to achieve its mission of providing lifesaving equipment, funding and education to first responders and public safety organizations across the country.

Firehouse Subs serves a variety of hot specialty subs, piled high with premium meats and cheeses that are sliced fresh daily in-restaurant and steamed together to bring out the ingredients’ natural flavors, served “Fully Involved®” with fresh produce and condiments. In addition to its signature subs, the restaurant offers a variety of catering options from sandwich and dessert platters to salads and snacks to fuel any occasion.

Founded by former firefighting brothers, the restaurant décor reflects the founding family’s decades of fire and police service with gear and photos donated by local fire departments. It boasts a custom, hand-painted mural by Chief Mural Artist Joe Puskas, featuring a scenic view of the beach with local heroes from Horry County Fire Rescue enjoying the day and keeping beachgoers safe. Since the opening of the first Firehouse Subs in 1994, Puskas and his team have painted more than 1,180 murals from his studio at Firehouse Subs Headquarters in Jacksonville, Fla.

In 2005, the Firehouse Subs founders established the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation with the mission of providing funding, lifesaving equipment and educational opportunities to first responders and public safety organizations. The 501(c)(3) Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation has granted more than $51 million to hometown heroes in 49 states, Puerto Rico and Canada. Each restaurant recycles five-gallon pickle buckets, available to guests for a $3 donation to the Foundation. Donation canisters on register counters explain the nonprofit’s mission and collect spare change, while the Round Up Program allows guests to “round up” their bill to the nearest dollar. All funds raised benefit the Foundation.
