Sub Shop bids farewell to customers

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Columbia staple bid farewell to its customers on Monday.

Sub Shop announced on its Facebook page that it would be closing its final location after 49 years. The business wrote in the comments of the post that it is closed.

Sub Shop had multiple locations throughout Columbia over the years, but several locations had closed within the past year, with its Eighth Street location downtown remaining until Monday.

The social media post says that there will be an auction for its equipment, furniture and memorabilia.

“It was a good run, 49 YEARS, serving the best sandwiches ever, on the BEST BUNS IN TOWN!  Although the last several years have been rough for us both professionally and personally we are forever grateful (Stay grateful, Eat Bread, Play the Dead).  We supported our family and several other families over the years, living, learning and loving in Columbia, MO.  Sub Shop always had loyal customers smart enough to recognize a quality product and to support a truly locally owned business (not a franchise owned by someone who lives in the community),” the post says.
