Boloco Tufts Has Closed

[josephineave.livejournal.com]

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.

And meanwhile, craptastic Blue Shirt continues to thrive. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD????

That location has been struggling for at least 5 years. They tried everything to get the students in but they are just on the wrong side of the hill.

That side of the hill is just fine. Many places have been there for decades with students and locals going to all of them. Boloco closed because its sucks. What Boston ave could use is what Boloco displaced, a Breakfast/Lunch place.

That's a bummer. Their food was adequate, cheap, and they gave out a lot of freebies.

I'm going to miss it. I stopped there once a week at least.

I added the 'burritos' tag. Click on that, and you'll see that this Boloco has been struggling since 2009.

Yay! Down with chains! Just kidding.

Wasn't this the shop where the owner blamed the delays on the Green Line extension for the business suffering? I found that theory a little amusing.

I am not surprised that the one in Davis Sq closed shop though. I have never actually eaten at the Blue Shirt so can't compare their burritos/wraps, but Anna's and Chipotle offer a superior product in my opinion. I occasionally eat at the Boloco on Longwood Ave when I am at work, but that is really only for the lack of better options in the area and not wanting to always eat the same things for lunch. They do seem to do a great lunch business at that one though.
