As first mentioned in the ChewOnThis Facebook group page, the Ground Round may be opening in Shrewsbury, taking over the space on Route 140 that had been home to Bauhinia Restaurant until it closed a few days ago. The Community Advocate states that Joseph Shea is behind the proposed dining spot, purchasing the rights and trademarks to the company name, and it will be an "official" Ground Round that will possibly open by January 1 if all goes well.
The Ground Round was first established in Massachusetts in the late 1960s, opening a number of locations in the Greater Boston area and elsewhere; currently, there are only four locations remaining in business in Ohio and North Dakota.
