Boloco Tufts Has Closed

Not as much fanfare as when they closed the Davis Sq. location, but it looks like Boloco has closed their Medford location. Not having much luck with burritos in this neck of the woods, I suppose.

I'm confused at the Blue Shirt disparagement. Great place, lots of good sandwiches. And how is this independent place with lots of great sandwiches similar to a burrito chain? Are we talking Blue Shirt in Davis or some other Blue Shirt? I can understand if you don't go there, but I don't see how anyone could actively dislike it.

Opinions vary, of course. I've eaten there many times since they opened, always hoping they would start sucking less, and finally just gave up. Sometimes when family or friends visit, they end up eating there on their own since it's right there, then end up asking how the place is so successful. While some people genuinely like them, their success is a great testament to location, location, location. (I suppose a lot of people would say the same about Mike's, too.)

Several friends and I tried at various points to offer feedback to Blue Shirt, but they were not only uninterested, but pretty rude about it. Boloco, otoh, gives you freebies and a thank-you for feedback. *shrug* I know they are a chain, but they are a small local one, sponsor lots of worthwhile events, and I've had lunch with the owner. I genuinely believe that they give a crap.

I've had a lot of high-quality food and juices from Blue Shirt. I think since a lot of people have asked, what sort of feedback did you offer them? They're rarely my first choice in the square, but what has "sucked" or been 'craptastic'?

Agreed--every sandwich I've had there has been good. I especially love the grilled veggie and goat cheese wrap. I haven't been there in a while, though, so maybe it's gone downhill since I last ate there?
