I saw the owner packing his car and removing the kitchen equipment on Saturday morning.  The “For Lease” sign is already in the window.  The owner said that they decided not to renew the lease…and had no plan to open up the business anywhere else or continue the catering business.

We stopped by this morning and indeed there is a lease sign in the window.  In addition to that, Brynda has posted a note on Patch announcing the closing.

As part of the Decatur Arts Festival taking place this weekend, the Southeastern Photographic Society will have over 50 images on display for the entire weekend at Sammiches N’ Stuff. A variety of themes and subjects will offer something for everyone. Many of the images are for sale, most with prices under $150.

Everyone is invited to the opening reception on Friday evening which is part of the Decatur Artswalk, our city-wide art experience that’s free and open to the public.

Sammiches N’ Stuff which offers fresh menu items for breakfast and lunch daily, will have snacks and beverages available during the reception. The café is located just off the square on McDonough across from the Dekalb courthouse.

The Southeastern Photographic Society (SPS) helps its members learn the skills for capturing great images and sharing them with others through field trips, lectures, competitions and workshops. Formed in1976, they now have over 200 members. Learn more at www.spsatlanta.org

With 4th of July celebrations, this was my first chance to send this in. I was walking in Decatur last Thursday night and spotted what looked like a movie shoot going on in Sammiches N’ Stuff. Looks like they replaced the hanging sign too. I snapped some pics, sending them to you. Got any info on what this is about?

Hopefully Cheryl Burnette, the city of Decatur’s Assistant Director of Everything, has the answer!

Lots of restaurant news in the past few days.  Quizno’s closes.  Locally-owned Sammiches n Stuff opens below Eddie’s Attic in the old Jake’s/Little Shop space!

Daren sent in the above pic of happy staff members.

I had heard about this new sandwich (and more) shop going in below Eddie’s Attic about a week ago, but was looking for a little more info before posting.

This morning Billy sends in a pic of a sign in the window and that’s good enough for me!  After a closer inspection I can tell you that tomatoes, pickles, olives and lettuce will all make appearances on the menu.

But seriously, I’ve heard that this is a sandwich, salad and smoothie sorta joint.  And heaven knows I’m always up for a sandwich…I mean “sammwich”.  Also, it’s great to see the old Little Shop/Jake’s space back in play, since it’s the only first floor retail on that side of the Square.
