## Story

Mark and Laura Watson opened the doors to their seventh Firehouse Subs locations last week. This time in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

“We are excited to continue expanding the Firehouse Subs footprint in Murfreesboro and the greater Nashville area,” said Mark Watson. “I look forward to welcoming new and loyal guests in to try our hot and hearty subs while we continue to give back locally through Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation.”

The couple opened their first Firehouse Subs restaurant in Smyrna, Tennessee in 2010. All 7 of their locations are in the greater Nashville area. The Watsons’ business has been a family affair where all four of their children have been involved throughout the years. Two of them remain involved today.

The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation has granted more than $849,669 in the greater Nashville area.
