LOCAL EATS WEEK comes to Melrose!
The Melrose Chamber of Commerce is excited to support our local restaurants and food establishments with "Local Eats Week" which will take place from March 2 - March 12!
 
In collaboration with the Reading-North Reading, Stoneham and Wakefield Lynnfield Chambers, our communities will promote Local Eats Week together to encourage dining out and taking out at our local restaurants in six communities. This is a chance for restaurants to best showcase themselves and gain new customers by offering special menu items, discounts and other promotions.
 
** If you are a restaurant owner and would like to participate, or if you are a merchant or business owner that would like to offer a promotion, contact Lauren Grymek at the Chamber. Read more details on how YOU can participate here. **
