Did you know … 7 things you didn't know about San's Place

8 August 2026 · 4 min read

A sandwich shop is more than bread and toppings. Behind the counter of San's Place at Handelslei 22 in Sint-Job-in-'t-Goor lies a story of local suppliers, family, authentic cooking and — surprisingly — a lot of data. Seven times 'did you know'.

… that the flowers on your table come from Gloriosa?

The fresh flowers on the tables in our dining area are supplied by the friendly people at Gloriosa, the florist diagonally across from us. Local starts with the neighbours: they provide the colour on the table, we provide a fresh sandwich to go with it.

… that we consciously choose local suppliers?

We focus on local suppliers and only work with partners who hold those same values high. Shorter chains mean fresher products, less transport, and a village where the money keeps circulating. Buying local in Sint-Job-in-'t-Goor isn't just a slogan for us; it's the way we do our purchasing.

… that San's Place is run by a female entrepreneur and her dad?

Sandra is at the helm of San's Place, together with her dad. A female entrepreneur with a family team behind her: you can notice it in the approach, the welcome, and the attention to detail. You aren't ordering from a chain here, but from people who get to know you by name.

… that the aroma here comes from real cooking?

Bacon, eggs, meat, chicken, coffee, bread — that smell that greets you when you step inside doesn't come from a spray can. It comes from real preparation, made right at that moment. That's why a bacon omelette here smells exactly as it should.

… that we are open on bank holidays, but Sunday is our day of rest?

We are ready for you on bank holidays (08:00 – 15:00), because that is exactly when a fresh sandwich is most welcome. We keep Sundays free: that is our day of rest, so we can continue working with full enthusiasm for the rest of the week.

  • · Bank Holidays · 08:00 – 15:00
  • · Sunday · closed (day of rest)

… that we deliberately open a little later on Saturdays?

On Saturday, we only open at 8 am. This isn't laziness, but planning: it gives us time in the early hours to prepare the day's orders calmly and correctly. If you want a larger order on Saturday, it's best to place it in advance.

… that we work quite digitally behind the scenes?

The rustic dining area might not suggest it, but behind the scenes, we work very deeply with data. When are the peaks? How much do we need to order? How large should our stock be? This is how we limit waste, buy more specifically from our local suppliers, and ensure the right toppings are ready at the right moment.

Masses of data to feast on, we think. Feasting, with a fresh bacon omelette on the side.
