Ye Olde Waffle Shoppe Reopens on Franklin Street

Posted Aug 11, 2019
After one month spent closed — the longest stretch of locked doors in its 47 year history — Ye Olde Waffle Shoppe is back in the breakfast business. The storied Franklin Street restaurant and first-meal-of-the-day mainstay closed on Monday, July 8, for emergency repairs to its pipes and wiring. Ye Olde Waffle Shoppe is once again open for business as usual. (Chapelboro.com)
