Piccadilly Pub
Piccadilly Pub was a chain of casual dining restaurants headquartered in the US state of Massachusetts. The first Piccadilly Pub restaurant was opened by William C. Martin in 1973 in the town of Westborough, Massachusetts.
The chain offered a menu of American cuisine, with particular emphasis on seafood such as fish and chips, New England clam chowder, fried clams, lobster, scallops, and shrimp.
As of 2008, the chain had 13 locations, all in Massachusetts and Connecticut.[1] All locations abruptly closed on February 5, 2012.

Sale of operations
Piccadilly Pubs was acquired by Massachusetts Pub Group in 2008.[1] Repechage Investments LLC which controlled Piccadilly Pub through its Massachusetts Pub Group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2011.[2] The Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports that "Piccadilly Pub's assets have now been acquired by FranWorks Group of Calgary, Alberta, Canada."[3] However, FranWorks press release states that they only bought the 19 Elephant and Castle Pub and Restaurants, "No other entities from the parent company were part of the acquisition." [4]
Closing
On February 5, 2012 an internal memo to all employees circulated that informed them that all remaining restaurant locations would be closing indefinitely, and that further information would be disclosed in a public announcement shortly. On February 6, 2012 all restaurants remained closed, with the following memo on the door: “Piccadilly Pub Restaurants have temporarily closed. Currently, a date has not been set for a re-opening.” [5] [6] [7] [8]
