Brigham's Ice Cream Closes in the Financial District of Boston

A local restaurant and ice cream chain has closed its shop in the Financial District of Boston after being in that location for a number of decades. According to the Boston Herald, Brigham's Ice Cream closed its High Street location yesterday, with the owner of the chain citing financial reasons, namely that the shop was unprofitable. The Herald mentions that New England Food Service continues to run 27 Brigham's restaurants in the area.

Brigham's got its start in 1914 in the Post Office Square section of Boston's Financial District, growing through the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s to the point where it not only had a number of stores, but also had its ice cream sold in supermarkets throughout the region. Today, Brigham's ice cream remains popular, with its vanilla flavor being the area's #1 selling ice cream in recent years, according to the Brigham's website.
