The Friendly Toast - Opening summer 2022
The Friendly Toast serves up creative meals in a truly unique atmosphere and offers a fun and exciting dining experience while using the freshest and most flavorful ingredients. In addition to the huge menu selections, the scratch kitchen also offers gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options and rotating seasonal food and drink specials exclusive to the Dedham location.

American Giant - Now Open
Expanding with its second location outside of New York and California, American Giant is the Made-in-USA apparel brand behind “the greatest hoodie ever made”. American Giant was founded in 2011 in a moment of opportunity: where the dissatisfaction with the apparel industry’s relentless march toward cheap globalized supply chain and abandonment of America’s manufacturing communities, met with the internet, ecommerce, and manufacturing innovation. American Giant jumped in, confident in the belief that consumers wanted a choice and that there were still enormous possibilities in America’s factories. Inspired by Boston’s historic Garment District where thousands of immigrant men and women worked tirelessly to make quality garments, American Giant strives to continue that Legacy. American Giant makes simply designed, premium clothing for men and women with the highest standards of quality. Approaching each garment meticulously, they ensure high quality materials, fabric, design details, and stitching. The brand is reinvigorating the great tradition of American sportswear, while investing in domestic farmers and communities.

Evereve - Opening summer 2022
Evereve dresses the modern woman to feel confidently put together, no matter where her day takes her, with clothes that are modern, versatile and have just the right amount of edge. Evereve at Legacy Place will offer the same personalized styling experience as its other retail locations and feature a fashion forward mix of its bestselling brands including PAIGE, Good American, Z Supply, Michael Stars, Dolce Vita and its signature label.

Booty by Brabants - Opening spring 2022
Known for its community-driven, inclusive approach and strong e-commerce business that has attracted consumers globally, Massachusetts-based athleisure brand Booty by Brabants will expand its brick-and-mortar presence this Spring with the opening of its second permanent storefront at Legacy Place following the company’s first permanent store which opened fall 2021 at MarketStreet Lynnfield. For the last few years, Booty by Brabants had successfully opened 10 pop-up storefronts, including at Legacy Place, MarketStreet Lynnfield, Boston and within Cranston, Rhode Island’s Garden City Center. Customers at Legacy Place will have access to much of the same inventory available online in addition to exclusive in-store perks such as early access to new product releases, products from the brand’s sister company Body by Brabants, as well as events and in-store sales. 

Möge Tee - Opening summer 2022
Modern tea concept Möge Tee offers a unique and innovative new-style tea beverage with the most natural and freshest taste, inspired by thousands of years of Chinese traditional tea culture. All tea drinks are brewed from high-quality tea leaves and mixed with creative ingredients and toppings, such as fresh fruits and cheese foam. Guest can expect an assorted tea menu of fruit tea, bubble tea, cheese foam tea, yogurt fruit tea and more, as well as a variety of tofu puddings, dorayakis, and soufflés.

Legacy Place is located at 680 Legacy Place.

The industrial markets have never been stronger. What has happened is that the build out of Devens with new high-tech biotech manufacturing with housing to service these buildings serves as the connector required to really make the I-495 West market sizzle. Worcester has been the beneficiary
