Bites Nearby: Johnny Rockets Coming Soon

This week's bite is in Acton.

Well, it's 99.9 percent official. Johnny Rockets is coming to Acton. The one percent is the health permit that still needs to be filed. According to Acton's Health Director, Doug Halley, there has been no movement as of yet on the health permit but the building permit was recently granted and construction is underway.

The location is where Friendly's used to be on 387 Massachusetts Avenue, Acton.

I worked for Friendly's at this same location. In Acton it was not easy! A lot of entitled children acting how ever they wanted with parents approval. I wish them luck. Is it something I would consider again absolutely! But I am not 100% sure the body could still handle the fast pace.   more ›
