A former Boston Red Sox player and current broadcaster is opening a new restaurant in the area where he grew up.
According to The Herald News, negotiations are currently in the works to bring a new location of Jerry Remy's Sports Bar to Fall River. If the plan goes through, the restaurant will be located in Quaker Fabric's Davol Street headquarters, which is an old mill building that was the former headquarters of Quaker Fabric on Davol Street (along the waterfront near Battleship Cove). The article mentions that the parties involved seem to be very close to working the deal out, and that a second unnamed restaurant might also be coming to the building, which is more than 100 years old and has nearly 250,000 square feet of space.
[October 12, 2012 update: According to a worker who posted on their Facebook page, Jerry Remy's Sports Bar and Grill in Fall River is planning to soft-open tonight.]
Two other Jerry Remy's Sports Bar and Grill exist in Boston (one near Fenway Park and another at Logan Airport), with a third soon coming to Liberty Wharf in the Seaport District of the city. [September 22, 2011 update: The Liberty Wharf location of Jerry Remy's is open.]
The address for this new restaurant in Fall River is: Jerry Remy's Sports Bar and Grill, 1082 Davol Street, Fall River, MA, 02720. The Facebook page for the restaurant can be found at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jerry-Remys-Sports-Bar-and-Grill-Fall-River/229518167091661
