Firehouse Subs® Introduces New Chicken 'N' Cheddar Rancher Sub Ahead of National Ranch Day

A bold new sandwich innovation featuring 49 grams of protein** and layers of new premium grilled white meat chicken, crispy bacon, melty cheddar cheese, and a new herb-forward buttermilk ranch

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Firehouse Subs®, the firefighter-founded hot sub chain, is introducing its new Chicken 'N' Cheddar Rancher Sub ahead of National Ranch Day on Tuesday, March 10, offering an elevated take on the classic chicken, bacon and ranch combination. Launching today as a loyalty-exclusive* for Firehouse Subs' biggest fans, the Chicken 'N' Cheddar Rancher Sub is the first new permanent menu item in three years and is packed with 49 grams of protein**.  

At the center of the sandwich is the brand's new grilled chicken – tender and juicy, crafted to deliver unmistakable char and savory depth. Paired with crisp, smoky bacon and a rich, herb-forward buttermilk ranch developed exclusively for Firehouse Subs, the Chicken 'N' Cheddar Rancher elevates a familiar favorite with bold flavor in every bite.

"At Firehouse Subs, elevation starts with ingredients," said Carolina Berti, Chief Marketing Officer of Firehouse Subs. "Our new grilled chicken delivers depth, char, and visible craftsmanship, while our buttermilk ranch is bold enough to earn a following of its own – rich, herb-forward and anything but ordinary. Together, they create an elevated pairing that raises expectations for what guests can expect from Firehouse Subs."

A portion of every purchase at Firehouse Subs benefits the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation®, which provides lifesaving equipment and resources to first responders and public safety organizations across the country. To date, the Foundation has awarded more than $105 million to local first responders across North America.
