The latest Wellesley, Mass., business news:

New life for Church Square bike shop?

Papa Wheelies in October closed its shop at Church Square, but the word is that an employee from the shop is working with the property owner to reopen a bike shop at the same location soon.

Papa Wheelies opened in Wellesley in spring of 2022 after relocating from Rte. 9 in Natick. It provided area cyclists with a full line of hybrid, mountain, electric and road bikes as well as accessories.

“We believe that it is a viable business and that with a local owner/operator the store will continue to be well supported by the local community,” the property owner says.

Family members who are retiring from the grocery business are selling 51% of RBSBW, Inc., the Mansfield company that owns the supermarkets, to Michael Bozzuto, owner of Bozzuto’s in Cheshire, CT, Roche Bros. attorney Andrew Upton told the Boston Licensing Board yesterday at a hearing to request approval of a change in corporate ownership at the West Roxbury and Downtown Crossing Roche Bros. stores.

Aside from the composition of the company’s ownership, “there are no changes to any aspect of operation, hours, management, floor plans,” Upton said. “No aspect of any location here or anywhere in Massachusetts is changing.”
