Thift Store, Brazilian Restaurant Closed

The popular thrift store in the Mount Wayte Plaza in Framingham has closed.

The Society of St. Vincent De Paul thrift store closed, just before Christmas.

The Catholic organization, which operates now 8 locations in Massachusetts, has not said if it plans to re-open in another location in Framingham. The note on the door just thanks customers for their support.

The closing was expected, as the owner of the plaza was approved to redevelop Mount Wayte Plaza, by the Framingham Planning Board in August 2014.

Owner Sam Adams submitted a $6 million plan to turn the almost empty plaza into an “Uptown” mix of retailers, restaurants, and office space, in early March.

The Dunkin’ Donuts, one of the last businesses operating in the plaza, is expected to move into its new building sometime in February. The Dunkin’ Donuts will open in a newly-remodeled building, where the former 400 Restaurant once operated. The 400 closed in 2013.

Extravaganza Brazilian American Pizza & Bar also closed in 2014. The restaurant did not request a license to operate in 2015 from the Town of Framingham. The Beacon Street establishment opened in April 2013.
