WOBURN, MA—Red Robin wasn't just posting job advertisements for fun, the restaurant chain is in fact planning on coming to Woburn.

Woburn Planning Board Director Tina Cassidy told Patch that the restaurant chain has applied for building permits in Woburn. Red Robin plans to occupy one of the two restaurant buildings designated for construction on the former W.R. Grace site on Washington Street.

Cassidy also said that the building permit process typically takes one month, and that she did not believe it would be outrageous for the restaurant to be placing job advertisements.

"It doesn't sound like it would be outrageous, but it will take a few months," Cassidy said."Maybe they are just doing their due diligence. It's not unheard of to start advertising now."

The Craigslist advertisement originally indicated through a google map widget that the restaurant's location would be in the downtown area. The restaurant is hiring for all levels of restaurant managers through both Craigslist and the company's job-posting website.
