Legal C Bar Is Taking Over the Summer Shack Space in Hingham

A location of a popular local seafood chain is closing, with another popular local seafood chain moving into its space.

The Boston Business Journal is reporting that Jasper White's Summer Shack in Hingham will be shutting its doors, making way for a new location of the Legal Sea Foods chain. The article mentions that this is basically a lease termination and sale of the Derby Street Shoppes space, and that all other locations of Summer Shack (Back Bay, Cambridge, Dedham, Mohegan Sun) will stay open.

The deal could be finalized sometime in January, according to the BBJ. In the meantime, the Hingham location of Summer Shack remains open for business.

[January 28, 2013 update: A Meeting Minutes page from the Hingham Board of Selectmen indicates that Legal C Bar (not Legal Sea Foods, as had been previously thought), will be moving into the former Summer Shack space. Legal C Bar is a casual cafe and seafood bar that is an offshoot of Legal Sea Foods. Currently, locations of the place can be found in Dedham and at Logan Airport.]
