When Erbert & Gerbert's, the Eau Claire-based sub chain, closed its Downtown Milwaukee location at 612 N. Water St. in early 2008 it was replaced by Brooklyn Bob's Sub Shop.

Today, a message on the business' answering machine says, "How are you doing? Brooklyn Bob's is no longer in business but we'd like to thank all of our customers for their support over these four years."

Brooklyn Bob's first opened at 839 W. National Ave., in April 2005. The shop, which featured Boar's Head meats, was owned by Bob Zaptin and his wife Jeannie. An e-mail to Zaptin seeking comment was not returned.
