MAGEE, MS (8/24/26) – Today ![]()
Firehouse Subs® is pleased to announce a new restaurant in
Mississippi! Magee Hwy 49 is located at 1588 Simpson Hwy 49, Magee, MS 39111. The new
restaurant is owned and operated by Sonya and Brian Busby and Emily and Jacob Upton.
Sonya and Brian are expanding their Firehouse Subs journey with the opening of their second
restaurant, and this time they’re making it a family affair by partnering with their children, Emily
and Jacob. Sonya’s passion for the brand began after trying what she calls “the best sub she ever
had,” inspiring her to bring the Firehouse Subs experience to her own community. “We are
thrilled to have been part of the Firehouse Subs family for the past three years and are
especially excited to bring our hearty, flavorful subs to the Magee community,” said Sonya. “We
can’t wait to welcome our new guests and give back to the local first responders who work
every day to keep this community safe.”
Founded by former firefighter brothers out of Jacksonville, Florida nearly 30 years ago, the
foundation of Firehouse Subs is built upon serving hot, flavorful subs using quality ingredients,
offering exceptional guest service, and commitment to public safety. A proprietary steaming
process unlocks flavor and maintains moisture in every made-to-order, sliced in-house sub,
making signature items like the Hook & Ladder![]()
® and Firehouse Meatball fan favorites.
The Magee Hwy 49 restaurant displays décor that reflects the founding family’s decades of fire
and police service with gear and photos donated by local fire departments. It also boasts a
custom, hand-painted mural by Chief Mural Artist Joe Puskas that celebrates Magee’s rich public
safety history, including the city’s first fire truck which remains proudly displayed in front of the
local Fire Station. The mural also highlights the station’s bronze sculpture and engraved brick
pavement honoring fallen heroes, creating a meaningful tribute to the first responders who
have served the Magee community.
Sonya, Brian, Emily, and Jacob are dedicated to sharing the brand’s commitment to giving back
through Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation®, which has granted more than $109 million
to first responders and public safety organizations across the U.S. A portion of every purchase at
any Firehouse Subs in the U.S. benefits the Foundation, providing lifesaving equipment and
resources to first responders and public safety organizations across the country.
