Looking for a job? Know someone who needs a job? No, we're not hiring bartenders- we get plenty of resumes and phone calls already for the positions we don't have available- but we have information on a couple of places that need employees.
Sandbar Sub Shop
Our sister store, the Sandbar Sub Shop, is opening a new location in Lawrence. We've partnered with another locally owned business, Zarco66, to franchise the Sub Shop in all of their locations. They've got one open in Ottawa already, and the Lawrence location is scheduled to open next month. Which means we need employees!
Zarco66/Scooter's Coffeehouse
Our friends at Zarco66 also have some jobs available.
- Manager, Scooter's Coffeehouse, 9th & Iowa. Early morning to late afternoon hours.
- Manager, Zarco66 gas station, 9th & Iowa.
If you're interested in any of these positions, or know someone who is, contact our fearless leader Peach. She is helping Zarco66 fill all the jobs, and she can be reached by email at peach@thesandbar.com.
Potential employees must be able to handle money, and they must be NICE!
Pass the word on to your friends so we can get these jobs filled! Be sure to tell Peach you saw the announcement on the blog!

Last week the Sandbar Sub Shop in downtown Ottawa got a facelift! Or, should we say, a floorlift…
You might recall that several years ago we replaced the floor in the women's bathroom at the Sandbar in Lawrence. Brand new wood-like vinyl flooring took the place of the worn-out laminate that had been there forever. The "wood" floor held up so well that Peach decided to put it in the Sub Shop.
Dave, Ted and our friend/contractor Jeff worked for several hours in the Sub Shop, with some help from Peach and her brother Patrick. They replaced the floor throughout the entire Sub Shop with vinyl wood plank flooring, and it looks fantastic. Dave said it didn't take nearly as long to install as they thought it would, either.
Check it out:
They also built a bench along the south wall of the shop (where Dave's sitting in the picture!). It's similar to the benches along the walls of the Sandbar. It allow for a little more seating in the shop.
If you haven't been to the Sandbar Sub Shop, it's worth the drive to Ottawa. And next month, we're opening one in Lawrence! Peach has partnered with Scott from Zarco66, and he's opening Sandbar Sub Shops in his gas station. He's got one up and running in Ottawa already, and the 23rd Street station is next on the list.
If you aren't already on our email list, join it here to get updates on the new Sub Shop and other fun stuff.

Our first franchise location of the Sandbar Sub Shop is up and running, and it looks fabulous!
The new Sandbar Sub Shop is located inside the Zarco66 station in Ottawa, Kansas, at 2518 East Logan. It's near the intersection of I-35 and 68 Highway. The station features gasoline and diesel fuel, a touch free car wash, and a variety of great food inside. We're excited that Sandbar Subs are now available there, too!
Peach helped out with the decor, and there's lots of tin-roof awnings, bright colors, surfboards, and tropical accents. The sandwiches are the same ones already served at our original location in downtown Ottawa. The staff is outfitted in crazy Hawaiian t-shirts.
The Zarco66 stations will become known as the Zarco Oasis- a place where you can fill up, stock up, and eat great food, all in a relaxing tropical atmosphere. My favorite part? The Sandbar Song playing over the speakers at the gas pumps.
The next Zarco66 station slated for a Sandbar Sub Shop is the one on East 23rd Street in Lawrence- current plans are to have it open within the next six weeks.
A recent article in the Lawrence Journal-World mentioned the Sandbar Sub Shops/Zarco66 relationship.

Peach and Ted opened a modified version of The Sandbar one year ago in downtown Ottawa- the Sandbar Sub Shop. It has all of the kitsch and charm of The Sandbar- and lots of our own wall decor- but serves up healthy sub sandwiches and salads instead of Bahama Mamas.
The Sandbar Sub Shop turns one year old this month, and if that's not exciting enough, there's also a new location!
Here's a great article from the Ottawa Herald that talks about Peach's recent franchise of the Sub Shop to our friend Scott, from Zarco66.
Scott owns eight convenience stores & gas stations throughout the area, and he's created the first Zarco66 Oasis at his location at 2518 East Logan Street in Ottawa. He started remodeling it three months ago, and now it includes a Scooter's Coffeehouse, liquor store, and a Sandbar Sub Shop.
The article talks about some of the cool things Scott wants to do with his shops; he's already been an innovator by having one of the first gas stations in the state with renewable gas blends.
We're excited about the Sandbar Sub Shop's anniversary and also our new partnership with Scott and Zarco66! Next time you're in Ottawa, be sure to stop by and check it out. And maybe he'll have a Zarco66 Oasis in Lawrence very soon!

I cannot BELIEVE I forgot to post this.
The Sandbar Sub Shop was featured in the October/November issue of Kansas City Fitness Magazine. Peach gave me a copy, I scanned the page, and promptly forgot all about it.
I have no idea how the magazine found our little sub shop, but it's a cool article. And very bright and Sandbar-like, which makes us happy. It even features pictures of a few of our sandwiches and salads!
Check it out:
If you haven't been to the Sandbar Sub Shop yet, you need to go. It's located in downtown Ottawa, Kansas, at 127 South Main Street. The menu has a great selection of healthy subs, salads, and smoothies.
And of course, there's lots of Sandbar decor!

The Sandbar Sub Shop will have it's "official" grand opening tomorrow in Ottawa.
The restaurant has been open since the beginning of January, selling sandwiches, salads, and smoothies to the eager fans in downtown Ottawa. The reception has been very positive and the food is great.
Tomorrow night the staff will host a grand opening at the restaurant. It's located at 127 South Main in downtown Ottawa. The grand opening will be held from 5 p.m. until 6:30 p.m., but the restaurant is open until 9. You can enjoy free samples of the subs and smoothies, meet the staff, and check out all the fun at this "Sandbar for Kids!"
If you're already in Ottawa, or if you're looking for something fun to do tomorrow night, head over to the Sub Shop.
I'm thinking that next weekend (the 20th-21st) we'll plan a road trip to Ottawa from Lawrence to check out the Sub Shop and Sandbar #2. If you're interested, leave a comment and let me know if Friday or Saturday works better. We'll plan on leaving around 6:30 from Sandbar #1 in Lawrence.
