Signs are up for a new sandwich shop at the Torpedo Factory, Alexandria Living Magazine reported.

The new spot is Union Sandwich Co. at 77 King Street. Alexandria Living Magazine said it’s from the same team behind Slaters Market and is a grab-and-go spot with just a few counter seats.

A permit for the location was filed late last year but there’s no official word on when the new location will open.
