Mark Whitehead's original plan was to find a quick-serve restaurant concept that would fit into and complement his U-Stop convenience stores.

Whitehead, president of Whitehead Oil, said he settled on Which Wich, a Dallas-based sandwich chain, because of its high-quality food and unique concept.

But instead of opening a location within a U-Stop, he finds himself ready to open a standalone location instead.

The first Lincoln Which Wich will open next month in the Olsson Associates headquarters building at 601 P St.

Whitehead said his plan had been to put a Which Wich in his new U-Stop Market concept, a standalone small grocery he hopes to open next year in the West Haymarket.

But he said he was having trouble finding a space where he could make it work.

There was reasonably priced retail space in the Olsson building, however, so Whitehead said he decided to go ahead and open a standalone location there.

"You take opportunities as they come along," he said.
