The latest Wellesley, Mass., business news:

 

Because Health opening on Grove Street

Because Health, which describes itself as a “health management provider and longevity club,” is opening at 28 Grove St. in a space that’s been vacant since around the start of the pandemic. The outfit, led by Dr. Lars Boman, has filled its social media channels with messages about the benefits of sleep, treatment for inflammation, and more.

Wellesley is booming with health-related businesses, from Human Powered Health to numerous concierge medicine practices to the soon-to-be opened Amazon Medical One office.

Wellesley Square merchants to extend their hours

Following a successful Parents’ Days Out promotion this weekend, Wellesley Square merchants are readying later this month to begin an extended hours campaign. According to retailers we spoke with during Parents’ Days Out, the new restaurants in town are spurring much more night activity in town.

The Wellesley Merchants Association’s pitch to members:

One business staying open late is good. A dozen or more doing it together creates an experience—a reason for people to visit, linger, and spend.

We’re asking you to try extended hours—for example, Thursdays until 7:30 p.m.—for a few months. We’ll track the impact, learn what works, and adapt.
