Planet Sub is known for their bread made from scratch in each of their locations and their playing card system in which customers are given a unique playing card to identify their sandwich when it is finished being baked.[1] Most products are made from scratch in each location and all meats and cheeses are sliced daily. They also serve made-to-order salads, romaine lettuce wraps, soups, and cookies.[citation needed]
History
editThe original Yello Sub sandwich store (from which Planet Sub was born) was opened in Lawrence, Kansas in 1979.[2][3] The Planet Sub franchise opened its first store in Overland Park, Kansas in 1998. The company has held true to several elements of their roots including fresh sliced meats, veggies, and cheeses, home-made sauces and bread, and have expanded their menu to over 45 unique sandwich choices.
