A national quick-service restaurant chain known for its signature chicken sandwiches and hospitality is opening a new restaurant in Massachusetts next week.
Chick-fil-A's new eatery is located at 4A Highland Commons East in Hudson. It will open its doors on Thursday, June 5.
It's one of seven new restaurants opening in Massachusetts this year, followed by five to eight more expected restaurants by the end of 2027.
The new Chick-fil-A is set to serve guests Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. with dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out, delivery, catering, and mobile ordering options.

In addition to Hudson and Foxboro, Chick-fil-A said Bay Staters can anticipate new restaurants in Danvers, Hudson, Worcester, East Springfield, West Springfield, Somerset, Dartmouth, and in Boston at South Station and Logan International Airport by the end of 2027.

As Russia reels from drone attack, Ukraine targets vital Crimea Bridge
Advertisement The Washington Post could not independently verify these claims, and it was not immediately clear how much damage had been caused to the bridge. It was closed soon after the morning explosion but reopened a few hours later. Local Telegram channels in Crimea reported a second explosion Tuesday afternoon, and the bridge was once again closed to traffic for several hours. As of yet, there has been no official confirmation of the attack from Moscow. This would be Ukraine's third attack against the bridge - a key supply route, but also a symbol of Russia's occupation - since the start of Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In 2023, a Ukrainian attack using unmanned sea drones killed two civilians and damaged part of the road, closing a section of the bridge for several months. Advertisement 'There is no place for illegal Russian structures on the territory of our state,' Lieutenant General Vasyl Maliuk, head of the Security Service, said in a statement. 'The Crimean Bridge is a completely legitimate target, especially considering that the enemy used it as a logistical artery to supply its troops. Crimea is Ukraine, and any form of occupation will be met with a firm response.' Tuesday's attack follows Ukraine's stunning operation targeting Russia's strategic bomber fleet on Sunday, which was also coordinated by Maliuk and overseen by President Volodymyr Zelensky himself. The attack, which was planned over the course of 18 months and involved smuggling dozens of drones armed with explosives deep into Russian territory as far as Siberia and the Far East, reportedly destroyed at least 12 aircraft. Ukraine said the damaged or destroyed aircraft, some of which were nuclear-capable, included A-50, Tu-95, Tu-22 M3 and Tu-160 models - planes Kyiv said Russia had used nearly every night to bomb Ukraine. Most of the details on how the drone attack was carried out remain secret, and it is also not known if the planes reportedly destroyed were in active service. President Vladimir Putin has yet to comment on the attacks, and Russian state media has remained noticeably silent in the wake of Sunday's events. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday that the president was being kept abreast of developments and that an investigation was underway. Russia's pro-war military bloggers have been enraged by the attacks, which some dubbed Russia's Pearl Harbor, and said they had caused significant damage to Russia's military capabilities. Hawkish former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev on Tuesday promised revenge against Kyiv for the attacks. Advertisement 'Everything that is supposed to explode, will certainly explode,' wrote Medvedev, who now serves as the deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, in a post on Telegram. In the past week, Russia has also launched swarms of drones and missile strikes against Ukrainian cities. The latest exchange of attacks marks an intensification of the conflict, as both sides have been pushed to the negotiating table by President Trump and European allies, and as Moscow has refused any talk of a ceasefire. A Russian strike on the northeastern city of Sumy on Tuesday morning killed four people and injured 24, according to local authorities. Russia and Ukraine met for a brief second round of direct talks in Istanbul on Monday, agreeing to swap dead and captured soldiers, but there was no significant progress toward ending the grueling war or even agreeing to a cease-fire. Ukraine negotiators after the talks said they had requested a meeting of Putin, Zelensky, and Trump to move forward the process, but Peskov on Tuesday dismissed the idea and said any such high-level meeting was 'unlikely.' Moscow on Monday also published its terms of discussion for any peace deal, including Ukraine surrendering more territory to Russia, cutting down the size of its military and not engaging in any alliances or weapons deals with Western nations. Medvedev on Tuesday cast the direct peace talks as a way to ensure a swift Russian victory. 'The Istanbul talks are not for striking a compromise peace on someone else's delusional terms but for ensuring our swift victory and the complete destruction of the neo-Nazi regime,' he wrote.

'50s-themed San Angelo burger restaurant shuts down
SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — Grill-A-Burger, a San Angelo-based, '50s-themed diner specializing in burgers, was shut down in April after years of operation, the restaurant's owner has confirmed. Katherine Martinez, the owner of Grill-A-Burger and a San Angelo realtor, stated that the restaurant officially closed at the end of April. She said multiple reasons guided her decision to shut the business down. 'It was a hard choice, but it was a personal choice,' Martinez said. Chief among her reasons for closing Grill-A-Burger is her family. She said Grill-A-Burger began with her three teenage boys and niece, but has dwindled to just her over the years as her sons grew up, started families of their own and moved out of San Angelo. 'Me being a realtor and trying to run a restaurant, it was a lot,' Martinez said. 'At this point, I had to do what's right for my family and for myself.' Personal health concerns also played a role in the closure. Martinez shared that she is facing her own health problems as her mother faces the aftermath of pancreatic cancer, issues that led her to reevaluate how she spends her time. English Newsom Cellars to hold grand opening for San Angelo tasting room 'When you own a restaurant, you're basically married to it, and it became very, very difficult for me to leave town in order to take care of my family priorities that I needed to take care of,' Martinez said. 'It put a lot of stress on me.' Martinez also cited rising food costs spurred by inflation as another driving factor behind the closure. 'Inflation in general, I think, has really hurt a lot of small businesses,' Martinez said. Grill-A-Burger opened at 1025 N. Chadbourne St., the former home of Charcoal House, in November 2016. A second location was opened at 2833 Southland Blvd. in 2020 but was shut down amid a decline in business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Martinez encouraged San Angelo residents to support local businesses by shopping and eating locally. She thanked those who have visited Grill-A-Burger over the years and provided her with fond memories. 'I just thank the community for their support,' Martinez said. 'We were open for almost 10 years, and that says a lot in the industry.' With Grill-A-Burger now closed, the property the restaurant operated from is now for sale. Martinez encouraged those interested in purchasing the property to contact her at (325)-277-5636. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

No. 1 is health and getting him back and building up the volume. We're continuing to do that,' Met president of baseball operations David Stearns said last Friday. 'Any time you see players consistently hit lasers all over the field, which is what he's doing right now in Triple-A, you pay attention. We're paying attention and will continue to monitor that and see where it goes.' Advertisement The Mets wanted to give Mauricio plenty of time to get his feet back under him following the injury, but Stearns previously said those plans could be altered if the major-league roster needed help. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS It's not yet known whether the Mets are demoting a player or making a move to replace Vientos, who grabbed his hamstring while attempting to run Monday night. Both Vientos and manager Carlos Mendoza indicated they did not know yet if he would have to be sidelined. 'There aren't specific, 'You need to check this box. You need to check that box,' ' Stearns said of Mauricio last week. 'I think it's more subjective. Is he comfortable playing the field regularly? Does he look right? Offensively, it sure does seem he got himself right pretty quickly, which is very impressive. He certainly has development left in his offensive game. He's likely never going to be the type of guy with Juan Soto-type plate discipline. But there are probably some strides he can make there.'
