Tedeschi has shuttered its store by the Monument at Centre and South streets, forcing people who want convenience to go to walk a couple blocks up Centre to the other Tedeschi, where the Store 24 used to be.
Tedeschi
The smallish Tedeschi on Comm. Ave. at Harvard plans to move into the Kelly's Roast Beef space across Harvard.
The move, which will require approval of the Zoning Board of Appeals, prompted the owner of the McDonald's franchise on Harvard Avenue to seek city permission to extend his closing hour from 2 to 3 a.m., at a Boston Licensing Board hearing today.
The Globe reports Tedeschi is taking over the space Kelly's vacated in 2011. Once it opens, the current Tedeschi, inconveniently located three doors down from the corner on the other side of Harvard, will close.
The Monument Square Tedeschi, 779 Centre St., was held up around 10:45 p.m. by a Hispanic man in his 30s wearing a black hat and a black puffy coat. After getting a large amount of cash, he fled in a blue, 2-door car last spotted headed down South Street towards Forest Hills.
This is the same store where a clerk was shot to death in 2009.
I went down to the Tedeschi's on the corner of Truman Parkway and Fairmount Avenue to get the Sunday paper and coffee. They have been kind enough for the last several years to ask the Globe driver for a paper with a South Section insert and set it aside for me so I can get the Milton news. This morning there was a whole crew of new faces who looked blankly at me when I asked for my paper, so I asked where Tariq (the manager) was. The new people said that he was no longer there and that the store was now owned and operated by the corporation.
