TORONTO, Oct. 8, 2024 /CNW/ – Announced today, Firehouse Subs® has entered a multi-year partnership with the Toronto Maple Leafs®, becoming the team’s official sub partner. Founded by former firefighters, the chain known for its hot and hearty subs unveils the exciting sponsorship just as doors are set to open at three new restaurants in downtown Toronto.
“We are excited to continue growing our footprint with these new restaurants, conveniently located in the heart of downtown Toronto,” said Sam Gallant, General Manager, Firehouse Subs Canada. “And we’re delighted to be entering this market as the new official sub partner of the Maple Leafs after over 30 years.”

Since then, the brand has grown across Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, with its first restaurant opening in New Brunswick later this year. The brand has more than 85 restaurants in Canada with aspirations to continue growing. The new downtown Toronto locations can be found at:
