Updated Dec 22, 2020;
An iconic Massachusetts chain is being sold this week.
Legal Sea Foods in Boston is set to be sold to another Boston-based company, PPX Hospitality Brands. The deal is expected to go through as early as Monday.
The chain opened 70 years ago as a fish market in Cambridge. It now has more than 25 restaurants along the East Coast.
It sells more than 40 varieties of fresh fish and shellfish throughout the year but is known for its famous New England Clam Chowder, which “has been served at every Presidential Inauguration since 1981,” the company said.
