Erbert & Gerbert's, an Eau Claire-based chain popular throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota, closed its Downtown Milwaukee location at 612 N. Water St. It will, according to a sign on the door, be replaced by a second Brooklyn Bob's Sub Shop.

Brooklyn Bob's opened at 839 W. National Ave., in April 2005. It's owned by Bob Zaptin, of Brooklyn, and his wife Jeannie.

Erbert & Gerbert's East Side location at 2238 N. Farwell Ave. remains open.

In other Downtown sub news, another Cousin's will open "soon" at the corner of Wells and Water Streets.
