Boloco Is Looking at Kelly's Roast Beef Space in Allston

A small local chain of restaurants that features burritos has been making expansion plans in the Boston area of late, and the plans could include the opening of a location where a soon-to-close branch of a roast beef joint is.

According to The Boston Globe, Boloco is eyeing the space in Allston where Kelly's Roast Beef is leaving (Kelly's is shutting down its Allston location this Sunday). The article mentions that the chain is "seriously interested" in the Commonwealth Avenue spot, though a company spokesperson states that it is "nowhere close to being a done deal."

Boloco currently has locations throughout Boston, as well as in Cambridge, Natick, Concord, NH, Hanover, NH, and Burlington, VT, with new branches coming to Atlantic Wharf along Boston's waterfront as well as Waltham and Wellesley. Their website can be found at http://boloco.com/

The Allston address that Boloco is looking at is 1227 Commonwealth Avenue, Allston, MA, 02134.
