Westborough – Another iconic restaurant chain, Piccadilly Pub, has abruptly closed many of its locations, including the 17 Connector Road, Westborough location.
The news, which was announced late Feb. 6, came as surprise to many, including local officials and patrons. On Feb. 7, the Westborough location's parking lot, which is almost always busy at lunchtime, was instead empty, save for a few patrons who had not heard the news yet of the closure.
A letter on the door from the parent company, Massachusetts Pub Group, LLC said that while the restaurant had “temporarily closed,” a date had not yet been set for a re-opening. The letter also referred all questions to the corporate office.
Late last year, Friendlys closed many of their local restuarants, including the one in Westborough.
