Faster Fresh Legal Seafood

Consumers are dynamic not static and chain restaurants need to be as dynamic as consumers according to Steven Johnson, Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions® Boston-based casual-dining seafood chain Legal Sea Foods is evolving with its customers with dynamic relevance.

In an effort to offer fresher, faster, seafood Legal Seafood is opening a 850-square-foot space in the Quincy Market Building.  It will feature six signature bowls, customizable bowls and a “liquid bowl,” which is Legal’s signature clam chowder.
