WORCESTER, MA — The revered Revere Beach institution Kelly's Roast Beef is coming to Worcester.

The sandwich chain will soon open a location at 70 Gold Star Boulevard in a new building next door to one of Worcester's other most popular dining spots, Chick-fil-A.

The expansion into Worcester will be the chain's most western outpost ever since a location inside the Jordan's Furniture near the Natick-Framingham line closed in 2018.

The new location here might be part of a franchising plan announced just before the COVID-19 pandemic to open six new Kelly's locations in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Apart from Worcester, Kelly's still has its original restaurant in Revere, plus five restaurants around Boston, one in Salem, NH, and six spread across Florida.

The Worcester location is hiring now for kitchen staff and customer service roles.
