Soon after, the founders decided to pull back on the idea, eventually buying back those franchised locations.http://rddmag.com/perspectives/perspectives-peer-to-peer/832-firehouse-subs-eyes-international-expansion Instead, they chose to focus on operating company-owned stores only, especially in the Jacksonville area. 
In 2000, the founders decided to take a different approach, using consultants to plan franchise growth. They were able to set up financing for potential franchisees. The second wave of franchising began in 2001.
