Another eatery is coming to The Loop. Snarf’s subway shop will be located at 6301 Delmar in the space formerly occupied by Soul shoe store. Snarf’s originated in Boulder, Col., where it has earned “Best Sandwich” status in Boulder Weekly’s Best of Boulder reader poll since 2006.
The popular sub shop has four locations in the Boulder area, has since expanded into the Denver market, and will soon have two sub shops operating in Chicago. The St. Louis franchise is owned by Jodi Aronson (sister of Snarf’s founder Jim Seidel) and her husband Maty Aronson.
Jodi Aronson called Snarf’s toasted sandwiches and specialty subs “addictive,” though soups and salads are also available for those looking for something lighter to snarf down. The owners have applied for a liquor license, so beer and wine will be available at the U. City location, although approval may not happen in time for the anticipated late August opening.
