The $1.1 million project is under construction at 6225 Keene Road with a gas station, convenience store and the sandwich shop near the new Richland School District main office.
The project comes soon after another opened near a new expansive apartment complex.
When the West Richland shop opens next year, it will make the fifth Firehouse Subs sandwich shop in the Tri-Cities.
Firehouse Subs was founded by firefighters and retains its connection to the local public safety community through contributions to the nonprofit Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation.
The Circle K at 4410 W. 10th Ave. in Kennewick is being demolished and rebuilt, according to city documents.
The $1.5 million project includes a new 5,200-square-foot convenience store and automatic car wash.
Buffalo Construction is the general contractor.
The former Sun Pacific station was sold to the Circle K corporation in 2012.
A company spokesperson could not be reached about the project.
