Business buzz: Another bank merger & name change; We visit Bosse Enoteca restaurant at Natick Mall

The latest Wellesley and area business news:

 

Another bank merger & name change

Banks sure do keep Wellesley’s Design Review Board busy.

Brookline Bank, which has two Wellesley locations, has announced a planned $1.1B merger with Berkshire Hills Bancorp that will result in all the benefits such companies in this business always tout when they join forces. The financial institutions say they will announce a new name before the deal is approved, and that will mean trips to the Design Review Board to get new signs approved as Wellesley Bank, Peoples Bank, Cambridge Trust, First Republic have done.


We visit Natick Mall’s new Bosse Enoteca restaurant—and watch some pickleball

Just across the town border, the new Bosse pickleball complex at Natick Mall brings not just 21 courts but several restaurants, including Enoteca. We paid a visit.
