Tavern In The Square Makes Push For New Framingham Location

FRAMINGHAM, MA — Tavern in the Square, a New England restaurant chain, is positioning itself for a new location in Framingham.

A public hearing is scheduled before the Framingham Board of License Commissioners on Monday for a new annual all alcohol and common victualer licenses, according to the board's agenda.

The proposed location for the new restaurant would be in Shoppers World at 1 Worcester Rd., Suite 153.

This would be the 14th location in total for the chain, and the 11th in Massachusetts. There are also Tavern in the Square locations in Rhode Island and Connecticut.

This move comes after a number of closures of restaurants and breweries in Shoppers World.

Recently, the Shoppers World-area Framingham Beer Works and John Harvard's Brewery & Ale House both closed.

However, this comes as part of a larger redevelopment along Worcester Road with the former Magnuson Hotel being renovated and turned into a Hilton.
