Wicked Local
Since March 2020, the region North of Boston has lost a number of beloved businesses, from retail shops and markets to restaurants and breweries. Many were forced closed due to the pandemic and never reopened, while other business owners opted to retire or take their brand exclusively online.
Though some of the places that closed their doors already have new tenants occupying the space, others remain vacant, serving as a visual reminder of the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on communities throughout the region and across the nation.
Some of the surprise closures were places that had been around for decades and had an established clientele places like Angelica’s in Middleton, Cape Ann Brewing in Gloucester, Calitiri’s Italian Cuisine in Danvers and the Wenham Tea House.
