A second location of Pickleman’s Gourmet Cafe is coming to the area. The newest location for the sandwich shop will be located in Dierberg’s Plaza at 2041 Zumbehl Road, in St. Charles. Although a lease has been signed, a representative from the Pickleman’s corporate office in Columbia, Mo., tells The Scoop that a build-out still needs to be completed and that an opening date has yet to be determined.
Doug Stritzel founded the toasted sandwich chain in 2005, opening the first Pickleman’s in Columbia. The franchise has grown to seven locations in four Midwestern states including Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma. The other Pickleman’s location in St. Louis is located at 3722 Laclede Ave., where students from nearby SLU wolf down those warm sandwiches as well as pizzas, soups and salads.
