Tailgaters Plan to Open End of May

The sports bar, restaurant chain Tailgaters announced late last year that they would be opening a location in Marlborough, and after months of delays in the business receiving its liquor license, the company now expects to be open for business toward the end of May.

Tailgaters took over the building previously operated by the now-closed at 757 Boston Post Rd. E., and has had "coming soon" signs promoting an opening for months. 

A representative of Tailgaters told Marlborough Patch earlier this year that the process to get the liquor license was taking longer than expected. That information was confirmed Thursday.

"We are waiting for the liquor license to be in hand and we should have that by the end of May," said Kim Reardon, general manager of the Acton (headquarters) location. "It has taken longer than expected, but everything is approved and it is just a matter of getting it in our hands at this point."

Also, during the month of May, Reardon said they expect to hire staff and put the finishing touches on the facility.
