Firehouse Subs at High Street is currently closed and despite a sign on the door with dates for reopening, there are no definite plans.
On Monday, WYDaily reported the Williamsburg location of the national chain posted a sign saying it is closed for remodeling and planned to reopen on May 1.
However, the Firehouse Subs national public relations team shared information on Tuesday morning that the owner of the franchise has decided “to explore other business ventures.”

“The Firehouse Subs in Williamsburg has closed. We are sorry for any inconvenience this has created for our guests,” company officials said in a statement. “Firehouse Subs is exploring all opportunities to bring in another franchisee who can take over operating this restaurant and continue serving guests in the community.”
Ivette Faulkner, a representative from The Zimmerman Agency, which handles public relations for the company, said the store will reopen once a new owner is in place. There is not currently a timeline for when this will happen.
The City of Williamsburg Planning Department did not immediately respond for information on the remodeling efforts occurring inside the location.
It remains unclear why the sign on the door estimates a reopening date of May 1.
