Stadium District Deli Shuts Doors After Less Than Two Years
25 Jan
Summary
- Sandwich Starr served East Coast-inspired subs and beverages.
- The restaurant closed on January 16th after operating for under two years.
- The former space is being considered for a multi-tenant food hall concept.
Sandwich Starr, which specialized in East Coast-inspired subs, coffee, beer, and wine, ceased operations on January 16th, marking the end of its less-than-two-year run in Tacoma's Stadium District. The restaurant, located at 102 N. G St., was opened by Trey Beattie and Megan Laffler in 2024. Beattie drew inspiration from his Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, upbringing to create sandwiches like the Sir Robot with pastrami and The White Rabbit with aioli, incorporating local ingredients such as microgreens and kimchi.
The 2,300-square-foot space was sub-leased from Anthem Coffee, which had previously occupied the location. Anthem Coffee is now seeking new tenants or businesses for a shared food hall concept in the storefront. This closure highlights ongoing struggles within the Stadium District's retail corridor, with other nearby businesses also having closed.
Despite Sandwich Starr's closure, other establishments in the vicinity continue to thrive, and new businesses, like a Seattle-based burger brand, are set to open in the area. Anthem Coffee, based in Puyallup, aims to revitalize the Stadium District storefront with a new concept.
