The New Jersey Department of Labor (DOL) forced 27 Boston Market locations to close in August after it discovered violations by the food chain.

A Boston Market location in Atlanta closed permanently earlier this year.

The 2014 Powers Ferry Road location in Atlanta joined a growing list of Boston Market locations that have closed in the Atlanta area in recent years.

A Boston Market location in Marion county shut down permanently in September, only weeks after it had posted a note on its door about supply chain shortages limiting its menu options.

Boston Market had three store locations in Colorado: Aurora, Colorado Springs, and Westminster.

It’s not just stores that are getting closed due to issues with Boston Market.

Switching to more homemade meals might be a good idea, which can help you keep more money in your wallet instead of spending it on fast-food locations.
