Wahlburgers Closes Original Hingham Location
30 Sep
Summary
- Original Wahlburgers location in Hingham, Mass. is closing Sept. 30.
- Closure is due to the lease ending at the Hingham Shipyard site.
- Another location in St. Charles, Ill. also closed earlier this year.
Wahlburgers, the restaurant chain co-owned by brothers Mark and Donnie Wahlberg, has announced the closure of its very first location in Hingham, Massachusetts. The restaurant, which had been serving customers for nearly 15 years, was set to close on September 30th. The company cited the expiration of its lease at the Hingham Shipyard as the reason for the shutdown.
In a Facebook post, Wahlburgers expressed gratitude for the memories and patronage at the original site. They also indicated that they are actively searching for a new location within the Boston area. This closure comes several months after another Wahlburgers establishment in St. Charles, Illinois, also ceased operations on June 29th due to its lease ending.
Fans shared their disappointment and sadness online, with some commenting on the short notice given for the Hingham closure. Donnie Wahlberg had previously posted a tribute to the St. Charles location, expressing his gratitude to customers and employees.
