Tubby’s is known for their mouth-watering submarines, but the franchise located at 25380 Van Born in Dearborn Heights is known for much more.
Brandon Hall, franchise owner, is committed to not just serving the community with delicious food, but is also big on supporting first responders and veterans.
“What makes us different starts with me and the community,” Hall said. “I bought this business from the previous owner who was only in it for the money. I learned that the only way to having a successful business is to put the community first. We’re different from any Tubby’s around. We offer so much from any other restaurant. Everyday we do 4-8 specials for the community. One day it’s student night, one day it’s kid’s night, and then there’s $2 Tuesday. One day it veteran’s night. We do movies for the local community. If you have a local zip code, you get an automatic 10% off. We’re also the only Tubby’s with a full ice cream bar, smoothies and shakes, which is on the bliss side called Bliss Ice Cream and Coffee.”
The restaurant has a diverse staff to make everyone of all nationalities to feel comfortable.
Hall’s Tubby’s showed their support for female veterans on Women’s Veterans Day on June 12 by presenting Alexis Derriso, founder of the Motown Women’s Veterans Association with a check to support housing programs, financial and food assistance that are rarely available to female veterans.
“I’m already doing things for veterans, but I didn’t realize how female veterans are being forgotten and disenfranchised,” Hall said. “I watch how people do veteran things online and it’s always an old grandpa. No body is talking about the women, so I’m happy to help. I want to like with people who is about service and community.”
