Welcome to Firehouse, Alex!

Alex Costas. Many of you might be thinking that name and face sure seems familiar. For those of

you who may not recognize Alex, he was on campus last summer working with Firehouse Subs to

establish HR needs for HQ staff members. He officially joined the Firehouse Subs family on Feb.

1 as the vice president of human resources. In this new role, Alex will provide leadership in

developing and implementing the HR strategy for Firehouse Subs, which will support the overall

business plan and strategy of the company.

He most recently served as an independent consultant (hence last summer’s assessment of the

HR policy and program at Firehouse Subs) and prior to that he was with Florida Blue for 16 years,

working in HR, business development and strategic planning.

You can find Alex at the “Top of the Fox.” Also, if you'd prefer, he's more than happy to stop by

your office. Alex is best reached via email at alex.costas@firehousesubs.com.

We’re very much excited to have him here. Please join me in welcoming him by sending a note to

alex.costas@firehousesubs.com!

Field of DreamsField of Dreams is a specially designed turf baseball field that allows mentally or physically

disabled children living in or near St. Johns County the opportunity to put on a uniform, be a part

of a team and play some baseball.

Firehouse Subs is a major sponsor of Field of Dreams and donates uniforms and more.

Kids participating in the baseball games wear uniforms that display the Firehouse Subs logo on

their sleeve.

On behalf of Meg Rose:

Robin and Chris have been involved with the program for several years, donating the funds to pay

for the team uniforms. We will be looking for volunteers in March to help be “buddies” for the kids

at one of the games.

Daily Double Take

This week, Kula, Ann and Darcy confirm that nothing will ever be “the new black.”

Patricia and Mary prove that Firehouse Subs sometimes really does look good on your shirt, not

just on your plate.
