Sub Shop to Replace Pink Melon in Wilmington

WILMINGTON, MA — A new sub shop has been granted a common victualler's license to relocate from Billerica to Wilmington in the same location that Pink Melon once stood.

The Wilmington Board of Selectmen unanimously voted to grant a license to La Rosa's Sandwich Shop, which is relocating from Billerica, during its July 18 meeting. Former Selectman and Counsel to owner Lawrence Evans Michael Newhouse, Esq. stated at the meeting that the sub shop hopes to open on Sept. 1, but would further publicize its opening date.

"I just want to let you know that I'm a big Italian sub guy, so I'm looking forward to sampling it," Selectman Greg Bendel said at the meeting.

It was also announced that La Rosa's would also feature a soup and salad bar, and limited eat-in dining.

"Delighted to have you coming into Wilmington," Selectman Mike Champoux stated at the meeting."Hopefully that spot will be lucrative and successful for you and for all involved."
