ICYMI: Is Red Robin Opening in Woburn?

Editor's note: This story was originally written earlier this week. In case you missed it, the story is below.

WOBURN, MA—If job postings are any indication of a business opening in the city, then Woburn will be welcoming a new Red Robin location.

According to job listings found both on Craigslist and Red Robin's job-posting website, the gourmet burger chain is hiring for new positions in Woburn. While Patch could not confirm that a location would be opening in Woburn, a Red Robin Customer Support representative told Patch that it is likely a good indication that the store would be opening a location in the city.

"If they are posting job opportunities, than it's probably pretty likely that a location will be opening," the representative told Patch.

However, North Suburban Chamber of Commerce president Jim Murphy told Patch that he has not heard of Red Robin's potential intentions to open a store in Woburn. He also added that the business would have to apply for permits through the planning board, which could take an extended period of time.

"Depending on the kind of work they would need to do, it could take up to a year, year and-a-half," Murphy told Patch.

The Craigslist advertisement indicates 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.

The Woburn planning board was not immediately available for comment.

Red Robin currently has locations in Foxboro, Braintree, Wareham, Millbury and Plymouth. They also have stores in Manchester, Nashua and Salem, New Hampshire.
