Lunch and learn with Mike Hancock - President of Firehouse Subs.

Hancock has worked for Firehouse Subs parent company Restaurant Brands International. He started with the chain as chief operating officer last year after serving in a similar role at the Canadian chain Tim Hortons.

Firehouse was founded 29 years ago by brothers Chris Sorensen and Robin Sorensen and has since grown to more than 1,200 restaurants. In 2021, RBI acquired the company in a $1 billion all-cash transaction.

More growth is on the horizon for the company, with Hancock focused on building on Firehouse's reputation for customer service and food quality. In our conversation, he talks about the strategy behind the growth, why technology is so important to the brand and more.

Registration required via Handshake. Space is limited to 30 people. Food will be served. This CAPD event is open to MIT undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and alumni.
