Wellesley Restaurant Group has announced plans to open a fourth location of The Local, with the newest one to be situated in Woburn this fall.

Owners and Wellesley residents Tom and Tricia Wynn and Frank and Stacey Santo first purchased The Local (formerly R.J. Crowley’s) in Newton in 2008. They then opened the Wellesley spot in November of 2014, followed by a Wayland restaurant shortly thereafter.

The 100-seat Local in Woburn will be located at 350 Cambridge Rd., in the Whole Foods shopping center.

    Have you been to the local recently? Food still delicious and atmosphere warm and inviting. Owners are very down to earth and classy. Love going there.

    Wellesley is becoming an overbuilt City with nothing but chain restaurants. It’s certainly not the prettiest town and the roads are awful. They should definitely improve the landscaping here and forget about constantly building things..enough is enough!!

      I’m sorry but Wellesley is one of the most respected towns in all of MA. The town does a great job keeping facilities up to date and the residents happy. By continuously creating new projects shows that Wellesley is a thriving town. Also the local is anything but a chain restaurant. They have great food with wonderful service. Take a walk on the brook path and open your eyes lady. Live a little and appreciate life.
