The Brown Bag & Sandwich Company is located in the Sycamore Plaza shopping plaza. It is not difficult to find because you will smell the scent of fresh baked bread wafting through the parking lot. The Bag makes over 40,000 sandwiches a day which they deliver to area vending machines, military bases and grocery stores. The company was founded in 1981 when the owner drove his car to the beach and sold sandwiches to the hungry surfers looking for a quick and inexpensive snack. The success comes from the quality of ingredients the factory continues to use such as Jennie-O meats, Sugardale Ham and Russak's Roast Beef. The company also makes its own fresh egg, chicken and tuna salads using dolphin-free tuna. This is not a retail store.
