When the Burnside Street restaurant opened in late 2017, McMillan also planned to open an outpost at 50th and Division in southeast Portland.[2]
In 2023, Sammich began operating at The Heist, a food cart pod in southeast Portland's Woodstock neighborhood.[4]
In addition to Ashland and Portland, Sammich has operated in Lebanon, Oregon,[9] and Seattle. The Seattle location operated from a food truck at Project 9 Brewing starting in April 2023,[6] before closing in August 2024.[10] [11]
Alexa Numkena-Anderson is also a chef.[8] Sammich appeared on the Food Network series Triple D Nation: Stuffed Stuff.[12]
