Boloco for sale?

Every so often, I do a Google Blog Search for "Davis Square". When I did so today, I found:
Quick casual café concept in Somerville MA
8 Jan 2008
Located in popular Davis Square, this is a high profile location with excellent visibility and parking and in close proximity to Harvard Square, Inman Square and Porter Square. The site is within...
BizQuest.com: Massachusetts Businesses for Sale - http://massachusetts.bizquest.com/page1.html
The listing page itself carries no date, but I'm going to believe Google's "8 Jan 2008", especially since the listing currently appears on page 1 of massachusetts.bizquest.com, making it a very recent listing. It says they are selling the business for $250,000, after having sunk over $600,000 into renovations.

This sure looks like Boloco to me. Anyone know more?

The food's always been worth the price, the Boloco card works well (except when my free burritos disappear, that's always confusing), and the staff is decently friendly and consistent.

The two things that might've dented it are the massive under-used space -- big and warehousey and echoey, not a very comfortable place to hang out or have a casual meal; it's definitely a take-out place -- and the hours (closing at 6 on a Sunday is odd).

If it is Boloco, I'll miss it, and will have to stock up on Buffalo Tofu wraps.

True, it does, but last Sunday they were closed at 6pm. Not sure if that's a regular thing or just that day (snow?) but I went wrap-less that evening in any case.
