A local restaurant and ice cream chain has closed its oldest remaining Boston-area location.
According to The Boston Globe, Brigham's Ice Cream apparently shut its Belmont shop at the end of business hours yesterday after being in operation for nearly 80 years. The article mentions that the co-owners of the Trapelo Road location of Brigham's also own the shop in Arlington Heights (at the corner of Park Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue), with that one staying open. It appears that this leaves only four independently-owned Brigham's remaining, according to the Globe.
Brigham's first started out in 1914 in the Post Office Square section of Boston's Financial District, eventually expanding to include a number of stores, as well as having its ice cream sold in supermarkets throughout the region. The chain filed for bankruptcy in the fall of 2009.
The address for Brigham's in Belmont was: Brigham's, 2 Trapelo Road, Belmont, MA, 02478.
