BREAKING: Firehouse Subs has just closed its only restaurant in Annapolis, located in the Festival at Riva shopping center. This sudden closure has drawn significant attention from the local community, leaving many residents in shock.
Officials from Restaurant Brands International, the parent company of Firehouse Subs, confirmed the closure, stating, “While the Firehouse Subs restaurant at Festival At Riva has closed its doors, we look forward to continuing to serve guests our delicious hot subs at the nearby Severna Plaza and Waugh Chapel Firehouse Subs restaurants.” However, the company did not provide further details regarding the reasons behind this unexpected decision.
On a visit to the site earlier today, it was evident that the restaurant had been completely cleared out, with kitchen equipment and furniture removed. A simple sheet of white paper taped to the door stated, “closed.” The restaurant’s listing still appears on the Festival at Riva website, raising questions about the future of the space.
This closure follows the recent shutdown of another business in the same shopping center, with Party City also going out of business this year. Local residents have expressed their disappointment, as the restaurant was part of their community fabric.
In addition to serving meals, the Firehouse Subs Foundation has a history of community support. In 2019, it donated two protective vests to the Annapolis Police Department, showcasing its commitment to local safety.
As the community processes this news, residents are urged to share their thoughts and experiences related to the Firehouse Subs closure on social media. What does this mean for the dining options in Annapolis? Will other locations be affected? Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.
