Poncey-Highland sandwich shop plans to relocate, expand.
Super Pan is closing its current location, at 1057 Blue Ridge Avenue, the Latino sandwich shop announced in a press release Tuesday.
“While Super Pan has received great press and reviews, and has wonderful loyal customers, the foot traffic in the area is not enough to support the high labor, high food cost concept in its current location,” according to the release.
Chef Hector Santiago and wife Leslie, who own neighboring restaurant Pura Vida, are currently looking for investors to partner with to move Super Pan to a new location with much higher foot traffic, the release notes.
Santiago plans on opening in a new location where Super Pan can be a full-blown Latino bakery and coffee shop as well as a sandwich Shop, open for breakfast, lunch and possibly dinner.

Nooooooooooo!
First of all, props on having Deltalina as a visitor to your website.
Second of all, I have the perfect location: across from Parish in that unoccupied space. Lots of foot traffic, high population density, close to Pura Vida.
How about moving a mile or two up North Highland Ave to the Morningside neighborhood? Sure Alon’s is already there but a less pretentious bakery / coffee shop could really thrive there. Emory students might even be willing to make the trek from campus for Super Pan burritos!
At first I was going to suggest the old Ben & Jerry’s but then I remembered Belly General Store is, like, right there.
Every time I went there it was crowded though???
They better reopen!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come to Midtown! We need better options! Thanks.
How about moving to Lindbergh City Center? Tons of vacant space there rotting away.
Any word on where he will cell his El Burro Pollo burritos on Saturday’s?
Okay this is potentially amazing news but it makes me nervous… they better reopen!!
I second Inman Parker’s notion. That space across from Parish has been vacant since it was built, circa 2008. I heard the lease rate has been drastically reduced, but no restaurant wants to compete with the established restaurants in the area. But Super Pan has already proven successful in this neck of the woods. The space is big with a patio. Constant pedestrian traffic. High visibility. Full disclosure: I live down the street.
“How about moving to Lindbergh City Center?”
How much do you want it to fail?
Everytime time that I tried to go there they were closed. Did they keep limited hours? If so, they will probably need a place with more lunch traffic, such as midtown. Inman Park Village is great at night and on the weekends, but very dead during the day.
Highlands, Morningside or Inman! Hope they don’t fall for the trap of Midtown, it looks like a lexus but drives like a yugo when it comes to foot traffic / people willing to buy $12 sandwiches…might work if they had a big, free parking lot (let’s be honest). And good god, Lindbergh? That’s a joke, right?
Lindbergh City Center? Too many undesirables…..
Lindbergh city center is too close to buford highway where it would have to compete with real latino bakeries at 1/4th the price.
I think the Ben & Jerry’s/Starbucks space could be a slam dunk. A new park is being constructed across the street and I don’t consider Belly to be much competition. Super Pan is a considerably better product and they are and would be very different concepts. That space has sooooo much potential…
Love this place, so I hope it comes back. The Ben & Jerry’s/Starbucks space could be a bad move, though. That end of Va Highland is becoming more and more dead.
I’d vote Inman or Morningside.
