Reuben Grinder is the owner of the Edible Edibles Sandwiches sandwich shop. His name comes from two forms of sandwiches: the Reuben and the Grinder.

He first appears in the episode "Chuck Makes a Buck", where he is being robbed by Chuck the Evil Sandwich-Making Guy. Thanks to WordGirl, Reuben employs Chuck as the store's new spokesperson/mascot due to his sandwich face, and he becomes popular, even to the point of having balloons of him being made and being mobbed wherever he goes.

However, in a falling out at his store on sandwich making for the annual Fancy People's Annual Awards Dinner, Chuck quits and turns the floor of the ballroom into the bottom half of a sandwich, enveloping everyone including WordGirl and Captain Huggy Face in super strong mayonnaise. However, he and the people of high society are saved by WordGirl who breaks free from the mayonnaise, and Chuck gets arrested by the police and sent to jail.

Later, in the episode "Chuck and Brent Ride Again", Chuck attempts to rob Reuben Grinder again, this time with his brother Brent as his "sidekick", but then Reuben and Brent go into business selling loaves of peanut butter bread and jelly bread.

In the episode "Sonny Days With a Chance of Showers", meteorologist Sonny Days wishes Reuben Grinder a happy birthday on TV, as well as Edith von Hoosinghaus, Grandpa Ming, and Violet Heaslip.

Reuben also appears in the two-part episode "A World Without WordGirl" on a wanted poster in the alternate reality (along with Sammy Sub) and in "The Rise of Miss Power" as one of the townspeople in jail.
