According to an article in the Bedford Citizen, Flatbread Company in Bedford has closed its doors after being in business for 18 years, with founder Jay Gould saying that "We are saddened that due to the financial impact of the pandemic combined with a slow recovery has brought us to make this difficult decision," while President/COO Jason M. Lyon states that "Our Monday through Friday lunch business which accounted for more than 50% of our weekly sales is no longer there. We've waited for two and half years for it to bounce back; unfortunately, we can't hold out any longer to see what the future holds."
With the closing of the Bedford location and the switching of outlets in Brighton, Somerville, and Salem to American Flatbread, there are no more Flatbread Company restaurants in the Greater Boston area, with the closest one now being in Amesbury.
