Hale and Hearty Soups Is Coming to Boston

A New York-based group of dining spots featuring soup and more is on its way to Boston.

According to a job post on the Craigslist site, Hale and Hearty Soups is going to be opening in the city's Financial District, with the eatery moving into a space on Franklin Street by Post Office Square. The Craigslist post, which describes the group of restaurants as "NYC's premier fast casual lunch spot," says that in addition to its upcoming downtown Boston location, there will be additional openings in 2015, though it does not specify exactly where.

[October 27 update: A new job post on Craigslist indicates that Hale and Hearty Soups plans to open its first Boston store in January of 2015; it is assumed that the store they are mentioning is the Franklin Street location, though they are saying "come and meet us" on November 1 in front of Macy's on Summer Street.]

[January 13, 2015 update: According to a release in The Street, Hale and Hearty Soups is opening its Franklin Street location on January 21--and it is celebrating by offering free soup that day from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM  (official opening is January 22). Thanks to @FoodserviceEast for bringing this to our attention.]

Hale and Hearty Soups, which first started out in 1995 and now has more than 30 shops in and around New York City, offers soups that are made from scratch along with salads, sandwiches, and an array of desserts.

The address for this new dining spot in the Financial District is: Hale and Hearty Soups, 185 Franklin Street, Boston, MA, 02110. The website for the restaurant group can be found at http://www.haleandhearty.com/
