Thurston Spa in Somerville Has Closed

A decades-old sandwich shop and deli in Somerville appears to have closed permanently.

According to a source, Thurston Spa on Medford Street in the Winter Hill section of the city is no longer in business, with a sign out front saying ""Closed due to owner's illness, high cost of food, lack of business due to COVID. Thank you to our loyal customers. Stay healthy and safe." Thurston Spa, which had been in business for more than 60 years, appeared to have an uncertain future back in 2015 when its owner passed away, but a friend of the owner took it over and kept it in business.

The address for Thurston Spa was 393 Medford Street, Somerville, MA, 02145.
