A local restaurant chain that is famous for its roast beef sandwiches is getting ready to close one of its locations.
According to The Boston Globe, Kelly's Roast Beef in Allston will shut its doors this Sunday, only a year and a half after opening the Commonwealth Avenue spot. The article indicates that the Allston location of Kelly's is closing because it apparently did not meet the sales needed to keep the restaurant going. It appears that the other locations of Kelly's will remain open, with workers who had come from other locations to work in Allston remaining employed, transferring to the other Kelly's restaurants (the Globe does say that approximately 20 workers from the Allston eatery will lose their jobs, however).
Kelly's Roast Beef first started out at Revere Beach in the early 1950s, eventually expanding to Danvers, Medford, Natick, and Saugus. The Allston location opened in May of 2010.
The address for the soon-to-close Kelly's in Allston is: Kelly's Roast Beef, 1227 Commonwealth Avenue, Allston, MA, 02134. The website for the Kelly's chain can be found at http://www.kellysroastbeef.com/
