Playa Bowls to Open in South Boston, Replacing The Juice Box

A South Boston spot that featured fresh juices and more has shut down, though a New Jersey-based chain of dining spots will open a new outlet in its space.

According to a post from Caught In Southie, The Juice Box on W Broadway is no longer in business, having shut down on December 31, and Playa Bowls will be opening its seventh Boston-area location there. As a note on the window from the owner of The Juice Box indicates, there won't be a big change in concept once Playa Bowls opens, as the former offered juices, smoothies, and bowls much like the latter does, and it appears that Playa Bowls could open early this year if all goes well.

Other locations of Playa Bowls can be found in Brighton by Boston College, near Northeastern University in Boston, Cambridge's Harvard Square, East Milton Square, Brockton, and Winchester.

The address for the now-closed Juice Box (and upcoming Playa Bowls) is 359 W Broadway, South Boston, MA, 02127. The website for the Playa Bowls chain can be found at https://www.playabowls.com/
