‘It’s a heartbreaking decision’: Topeka sandwich shop announces immediate closure

TOPEKA (KSNT) – A north Topeka sandwich shop has announced it is shutting down after a few months of business.

Over The Top Sandwich made a post to social media on Oct. 16 announcing that it is making the difficult decision to shut its doors. Marcy Schreiner, one of the owners, told 27 News the closure is effective immediately.

“We’re doing the best we can,” Marcy Schreiner said. “We just want to refocus our priorities and we can’t do that with a business that requires our attention 24/7. It’s a heartbreaking decision.”

Marcy Schreiner said her mom, who is 79-years-old, recently suffered a heart attack. She and her husband Troy are stepping back from their brick-and-mortar business to help care for her in the aftermath of the health emergency.

“This isn’t goodbye forever—it’s a pause to focus on what matters most. We hope you’ll remember us not just for the food, but for the love behind it.”

The Schreiners plan to keep their food truck in operation for special events as needed and finish up some final catering orders in the days ahead. Marcy Schreiner said she has appreciated all the feedback and support Over The Top Sandwich has received from the community since it opened earlier this year.

“We have amazing followers,” Marcy Schreiner said. “The support has been crazy, it’s wonderful… a wonderful crazy. To keep supporting local would be my biggest thing.”
