Fozzie’s Sandwich Emporium is now open for business in Des Peres. The new shop, located at 11656 Manchester Road in the space that most recently housed Dottie’s Ice Cream Parlor, marks the second location for the popular stop for gourmet sandwiches.
Owner Mark Lucas opened the original location on Big Bend Boulevard in Richmond Heights in June 2010. He explained he chose to add a location in West County because “we’re a good fit for this area.” At 1,400 square feet and with 40 seats, Fozzie’s No. 2 is a jump in size compared to its 10-seat (not counting the patio with its colorful backyard chairs) sister restaurant in Richmond Heights.
The menus are identical at both Fozzie’s locations. Besides specialty sandwiches, customers can order seasonal salads (We’ve given the panzanella salad a thumbs up as a Meatless Monday meal.), house-made spreads with pita and desserts, including cookies and brownies made in-house by Laura Hiedotten, manager at the Richmond Heights store. Both Fozzie’s locations are open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and offer delivery anywhere within 5 miles of the shop.
