Owner Greg Schultz began his interest in soups and subs while in college in Kalamazoo working as the Soup Chef for Sunshine Sub Shop. "As a starving college student, one of the best perks was getting a free meal when I worked", said Schultz.

"One of the most rewarding parts of being in Downtown Bay City is that we all (businesses) complement each other and work together. We are approaching our finest time of the year here on the water, summer.
