My local franchise closed several years ago, and the one in a neighboring town closed a couple of years later. I've had a serious craving for a 'Schlotzsky's original' for a while now but can't find one anywhere. A search revealed the chain was in serious financial trouble years ago so I'm guessing it finally went out of business. The 'original' on Muffuletta bread with their Schlotzskys sauce was one of the best sandwiches I have ever ate. Mcalisters deli in my area has a similar sandwich, but it just ain't Schlotzskys!
