The Continental Restaurant in Saugus, Massachusetts, closing after seven decades in business [Video]

IT’S SCHEDULED TO FULLY OPEN IN NOVEMBER. NEW THIS MORNING, A SAUGUS STAPLE IS CLOSING ITS DOORS. THE CONTINENTAL RESTAURANT HAS ANNOUNCED IT IS SHUTTING DOWN FOR GOOD. THE RESTAURANT’S LAST DAY WILL BE NOVEMBER 24TH. IN AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THE KORKOLIS FAMILY, WHO OWNS THE RESTAURANT, THANKED THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS. THE CONTINENTAL HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 72 YEARS. A FIXTURE OF THAT AREA. SO MANY FAMILIES UP THERE IN THE NORTH SHORE. THIS IS A STAPLE IN THE SENSE OF BIG FAMILY EVENTS, BIG OCCASIONS AND IT’S IT’S GOING TO BE A BIG DEAL TO MAKE A STOP IN THERE BEFORE THEY CLOSE. I MIGHT HAVE TO GO SIT IN A LEATHER BANQUETTE
