Your Stories Q&A: Firehouse Subs closes another location in Central New York
ITHACA, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — You ask, we answer!Firehouse Subs has closed its second location in Central New York within a year. First, it was Camillus, now Ithaca.
Jamie Mullen was the franchisee for both locations. He said the Ithaca location, located at 740 South Meadow Street, closed on Sunday.
Mullen explained he had a dispute with the owner of the building and was unable to come to a resolution. He also said staffing the Ithaca location was a challenge.
The Camillus Firehouse Subs at 5308 W. Genesee Street, closed Last May. Mullen told us then, that he decided to not renew his lease because Camillus became his highest-rent and lowest-grossing store.
With Camillus and Ithaca both closed, Firehouse Subs in North Syracuse is the last remaining location in the CNY. Mullen said he has no plans to close that location but does wish to sell it to a local franchisee. He is from Waverly, N.Y., and said it's become difficult to run the store from a distance.
However, he still owns two Firehouse Subs food trucks. The food trucks travel to local fire departments for fundraisers. The sales from the trucks raise about $170,000 for local stations, according to Mullen.
The Ithaca location closing is a loss for the local first responder community. Mullen said that hundreds of thousands of dollars have been donated to the surrounding area through the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation.
