Medford Boloco to close; owner cites GLX delay as factor

The Boloco restaurant at 340 Boston Ave. will close on Nov. 30, Boloco CEO John Pepper told the Medford Green Line Neighborhood Alliance in an email Sunday night.

Responding to an email reminder about a public meeting this week about the latest Green Line delay, Pepper said the fact that the project is languishing was a factor in his decision to close the Medford location.

Same for me. I'll have to make a special trip to Harvard Sq. to cash in the occasional freebie burrito rather than just drop by on the way home from work.

But, if you can't make it work on the edge of a college campus, then it's time to move on. I daresay we won't be seeing a Boloco in the neighborhood anytime soon.

They seem to be doing fine around other colleges - Berklee, Emerson, and Harvard.

But those are in much denser neighborhoods. For the Medford location to work, you gotta have Tufts students. Not sure that issue applies to the others.

They also have a location at Northeastern inside the student center.

And one more in Cleveland Circle near BC.
