Grilled Cheese Restaurant Opening Downtown

First brick-and-mortar Cheeseboy will begin operating this spring and is hiring about 30 people.

Grilled cheese company Cheeseboy is planning to open its first restaurant in the Downtown Crossing area, and the company is hiring new staff.

Founded in 2009, Cheeseboy: Grilled Cheese To Go is “America’s first quick-serve grilled cheese restaurant” and currently has to-go locations at South Station, Prudential Center and in the greater Boston area and in Rhode Island, New York and New Jersey.

“Cheeseboy is focused on serving delicious and affordable grilled cheese sandwiches made with high-quality ingredients, including bakery crafted breads, premium cheeses and fresh meat and veggie toppings,” according to a company press release. “Customers can order one of Cheeseboy's eight Signature Sandwiches or make their own. Hearty soups, snacks, desserts, fruit and beverages complete the menu.”
