Wicked Bagel in Lexington Is Opening a New Shop in Woburn

 A popular bagel shop in the northwest suburbs of Boston is opening a new location one town over.

According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Wicked Bagel in Lexington is getting ready to open in Woburn, moving into a space at Cummings Park just south of where Washington Street intersects Route 128. A Patch article first mentioned their plans last April, while a Facebook post from Wicked Bagel this past April stated at the time that "We are getting closer to having bagels at our Woburn location, opening soon"

The Lexington location of Wicked Bagel debuted in the fall of 2017 on Mass. Ave. in East Lexington.
