Tony C’s opening at<br />

Northshore Mall in May<br />

Tony C’s Sports Bar & Grill,<br />

a popular sports bar with four<br />

existing locations throughout<br />

the Greater Boston area, will<br />

open its fifth outpost at the<br />

Northshore Mall in Peabody<br />

this May. Located at 210 Andover<br />

Street, the 7,700 squarefoot<br />

venue is sure to become<br />

home base for sports fans in<br />

the area, offering an extensive<br />

menu of American comfort<br />

food, 40 beers on tap and<br />

an unparalleled audiovisual<br />

experience with more than 70<br />

high-definition TVs throughout<br />

the restaurant and patio.<br />

Named in honor of Red Sox<br />

legend and North Shore native,<br />

Tony Conigliaro, Tony C’s<br />

Sports Bar & Grill in Peabody<br />

will elevate the typical sports<br />

viewing experience by offering<br />

guests the best of both worlds.<br />

Sports fans will have frontrow<br />

seats to every game with<br />

the restaurant’s four-sided<br />

Jumbotron TV display, large<br />

central bar and booth seating,<br />

while a private dining room<br />

offers a more intimate experience<br />

with seating for up to<br />

38 guests. Tony C’s in Peabody<br />

will offer new features such as<br />

communal, high-top cocktail<br />

tables alongside the bar and<br />

an 817-square-foot outdoor patio<br />

with heat lamps, fans and<br />

seating for up to 54 people.<br />

The restaurant’s décor<br />

pays homage to Tony Conigliaro<br />

and Fenway Park<br />

through the artwork dotting<br />

the walls, but the sleek and<br />

modern interior is accentuated<br />

by a massive, illuminated<br />

marquee of Tony C’s number<br />

25 spanning the private dining<br />

room ceiling, which serves<br />

as one of the restaurant’s<br />

most notable characteristics.<br />

Executive Chef Steve Walsh<br />

will head up the kitchen at<br />

Tony C’s Sports Bar & Grill<br />

at the Northshore Mall, with<br />

a focus on incorporating fresh,<br />

mainly local ingredients into<br />

the menu of American comfort<br />

food and game day staples. A<br />

graduate of Le Cordon Bleu<br />

in Cambridge, Chef Walsh<br />

became an Executive Chef at<br />

age 22 and spent years with<br />

the Tavistock Restaurant Collection,<br />

formerly the Back Bay<br />

Restaurant Group, at both<br />

Joe’s American Bar & Grill<br />

and The Atlantic Fish Company<br />

before joining the Cronin<br />

Group as Executive Chef.<br />

Guests at Tony C’s in Peabody<br />

will indulge in fan favorites<br />

like the Philly Cheesesteak<br />

Wontons (crispy fried,<br />

Sriracha aioli), Fresh Potato<br />

Chips with Tony’s secret sauce,<br />

Cedar Plank Salmon (roasted<br />

Brussels sprouts with bacon<br />

lardons), and menu staples<br />

“We are thrilled to be expanding<br />

& Grill to the Northshore Mall<br />

and look forward to serving<br />

and engaging with the surrounding<br />

a young Tony Conigliaro first<br />

Toys-R-Us closing<br />

down impacts two<br />

Peabody locations<br />

By Adam Swift<br />

Editor<br />

Last week, 70-year-old retailer<br />

Toys R Us sought court<br />

approval to liquidate its remaining<br />

735 stores, eliminating<br />

the jobs of 30,000 employees.<br />

Two of those locations are<br />

in Peabody, a Toys R Us on<br />

Andover Street across from<br />

the Northshore Mall, and<br />

a Babies R Us on Andover<br />

Street in the Burlington Coat<br />

Factory plaza.<br />

The only glimmer of hope<br />

for the company is a Toys R Us<br />

plan to try to bundle its Canadian<br />

business with about 200<br />

of its high performing U.S.<br />

stores and find a buyer.<br />

“I am very disappointed<br />

with the result, but we no<br />

longer have the financial<br />

support to continue the Company’s<br />

U.S. operations,” said<br />

Dave Brandon, Chairman<br />

and Chief Executive Officer.<br />

“We are therefore implementing<br />

an orderly process<br />

to shutter our U.S. operations<br />

and will pursue going concern<br />

sales or reorganizations<br />

of certain of our international<br />

businesses, while our other<br />

international businesses consider<br />

their options.”<br />

With the closing, customers<br />

now have fewer than 30<br />

Lynnfield Landscaping<br />

“Environmentally preferred”<br />

days to redeem any Toys R<br />

Us or Babies R Us gift certificates<br />

at the stores locations.<br />

While some local residents<br />

said Toys R Us could be overpriced<br />

and not well run, other<br />

said they will miss the experience<br />

of taking their children<br />

to an actual toy store<br />

instead of shopping online.<br />

“I’m sorry that future children<br />

won’t have the awe-inspiring<br />

experience of walking<br />

into a huge toy store,” said Linda<br />

Venturi Durkin. “Yes, expensive,<br />

but sometimes it’s worth it<br />

to see their expressions. Can’t<br />

get that on Amazon.”<br />

Yvette Igou-Lane said she<br />

remembered her dad taking<br />

her to Toys R Us in the 1980s<br />

when it was still connected to<br />

the mall to buy Barbie dolls.<br />

Now, she said she likes to<br />

take her two young children<br />

to the store so they can see<br />

and touch the toys.<br />

“They always walked<br />

in wanting one thing and<br />

walked out with something<br />

else,” she said. “There is<br />

nothing like watching your<br />

children examine a toy and<br />

decide if they want it. TV<br />

and online cannot compete<br />

with that. Other stores carry<br />

limited supplies and choices.<br />

Toys R Us will be missed.”<br />
