You can get Thai, Filipino, Chinese, Middle Eastern, Vietnamese and Turkish food on South Grand — but as of today, you can't get the "you pick two" or other menu items popularized by Saint Louis Bread Co.

The St. Louis-based chain closed its location on the bustling street (3114 South Grand Boulevard) after dinner service last night.

The company confirmed the news to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in a brief email The decision, which has been the subject of rumors for months, joins last year's highly publicized closing on the Loop , as well as two recent closures in Chesterfield. The company suggests that customers should instead patronize its bakery cafe on the Saint Louis University campus , at 20 N. Grand Boulevard.Rachel Witt, executive director of the South Grand Community Improvement District, did not respond to a message seeking comment yesterday.The decision has angered some residents of the Tower Grove East and Tower Grove South neighborhood, namely because fifteen years ago, the company seemed determined to stay — at the expense of some residents.In 2001, the company demolished two single-family homes to increase the size of its parking lot. More than 300 people reportedly signed a petition saying they'd no longer patronize the chain if the historic homes were demolished.
