Summer Blues for the Chicken Bone; Owner Closes Bar Until Labor Day

The Chicken Bone, a bar in downtown Framingham, which appeared on the Spike-TV show Bar Rescue, says summer business is too slow and closed today, June 17 and will not open the rest of the summer.

In a letter to patrons:

"Summertime has always been a very slow time of year for us here at The Chicken Bone.  Many people are away on vacation and/or enjoying outdoor activities. This, combined with recent changes in the economy and rising cost of living expenses, means we all have less money to spend on eating out and entertainment.

Up until last year, The Chicken Bone had always been open 7 days a week.  Last summer, in an effort to minimize the impact of the slow season, we reduced our operating hours and decided to be closed on Mondays. We have made the difficult decision to suspend our operations for the entire summer this year, and then re-open after Labor Day.
