Maynard

The old Christopher's has been bought by Jo Jo White! He has bought the whole left side of the strip mall and is turning into a Sports Bar and Dining area, They have already been doing work there! I hope that this comes to pass and finally something makes it there!

    My understanding is that JoJo and his partners have entered into a long term lease with the property owner. I was told that the restaurant was going to have three phases to it. 1) Remodel the existing restaurant making it more of a family friendly sports bar with over 20 plasma tv's and a menu to die for. 2) Build a dinning room and function area in the space to the right and 3) Build a private club for players and members in the area to the left of the present restaurant. This is a big deal, JoJO White is well known and will be hands on. In addition, Maynard will be visited often by friends of Jojo's from the Celtics, Patriots and Red Sox.

    Good luck to all involved, I can't wait to have them open.

      my only experience @ christopher's was positive and i was sorry it declined so quickly. ate at cast iron kitchen last week and was very impressed by the quality of the food, service, and reasonable markup on the wine.

        In the Herald today, it says it will be a private club. In Maynard.

          I think the Herald may be wrong!

              I thought that you meant it was only a private club-but it is both private and public!
