NEWARK, Del. - From the window of the last Boston Market still open in the state of Delaware, a slightly askew sign casts a weak light into the sunshine outside. “Open,” it reads in red LED letters.
The location anchors the northwest corner of a shopping center with an Acme supermarket on one end and a row of faded restaurants and a nail salon on another. And it might catch your eye if you’re driving past on Route 273 in Newark, maybe on your way to the nearby Christiana Mall or the University of Delaware campus across town. Nearly everyone, though, drives past it.
This is what the end of an era looks like.
Boston Market was a booming brand back in the mid-1990s, a pioneer of what we now know as the fast-casual landscape. It existed in a space diners were just realizing they wanted to be in, somewhere between the greasy burgers of fast-food drive-throughs and the sit-down production of an evening out at the Olive Garden or Bennigan’s.

Word on the Internet is that Boston Market is about to go under. Another iconic brand that seems to have been left behind by the times. Personally, I never liked the Boston Market's food at all - so I am ambivalent about the news.

As once-booming Boston Market dwindles, a trickle of customers get nostalgic
