About Ted's Firehouse Pub & Grill
Ted's Firehouse PubTed's Firehouse Pub was almost Pete's Firehouse Pub when it opened in 1996, as it was opened as a tribute to Ted's grandfather: Chief Leo M. Pete Fox. Ted wanted to pay tribute to his grandfather and all of the firefighters who worked with Pete, and eventually for him. Pete fox started with Jackson Fire Department in 1925, and was with them for 42 years... first as a firefighter, and ultimately as Chief. Pete died as Chief in 1967. Ted really felt it should be named after his grandfather, but then again, he didn't want everyone in town calling him Pete!Full Circle!Ted began in the hospitality business in 1964 at the Hayes Hotel in Jackson. He moved to the Grand Rapids area in 1968 for a management position with Schensuls Cafeterias. He kept moving up, first to the Holiday Inn North and finally as manager of Benthams Riverfront Restaurant located in the Away Grand Plaza Hotel. Ted returned to Jackson in 1985 as the Assistant General Manager/Food & Beverage Director at the Holiday Inn. Ted has more than 35 years of catering experience... So, whether you have 15 or 300 hungry people to feed... Call Ted!What… No Restaurant? When Ted was approached with the possibility of buying the old Back Door Bar. He said: "What... no restaurant? Although the idea appealed to him, he couldn't imagine a bar without a restaurant. He spent a lot of time and money to make sure that he had a "health-department approved" facility.Emergency Response! The pub has a live radio feed that makes Ted aware of any fire in the county as it happens. When a major structure fire occurs anywhere in the county. Ted responds with beverages, ice, food, whatever is needed to assist and support our firefighters!Memorabilia - Ted's has the single biggest collection of firefighter memorabilia in all of Southern Michigan… look around... It's all here.
