Zach Oldham, owner of three Planet Sub locations in St. Louis, has closed the sub shop located at 7 N. Euclid Ave., in the Central West End. Oldham cited a decline in business as the reason for closing the CWE operation that he opened in November 2008. “It wasn’t performing like it needed to,” summed Oldham.
Oldham is now focusing his efforts on the fledgling Maplewood eatery at 1805 Maplewood Commons Dr., that he opened last December. “It’s doing very well,” he noted, “It’s constantly busy.” Oldham’s other Planet Sub shop located at 211 N. Ninth Street downtown also remains open.
