As of today, the much-loved Super Pan Latino Sandwich Shop has announced that it’s closing its puertas. Apparently, Super Pan’s location, below chef Hector Santiago’s full-service restaurant Pura Vida, did not get enough foot traffic “to support the high labor and high food cost” of the operation.
According to a press release:
Chef Hector & Leslie Santiago are currently looking for investors to partner with to move Super Pan to a new location with much higher foot traffic. They hope to find a new location where Super Pan can be a full-blown Latino bakery & coffee shop as well as Sandwich Shop, open for breakfast, lunch and possibly dinner.
Another great concept bites the dust. Hopefully the Santiagos will find a new home for the restaurant/bakery soon. Until then, however, Super Pan will surely be missed.
