Good morning, Taunton! Today is Thursday, May 26, 2022. Let's take a look at today's top stories:

What popular chains said about coming to Taunton

The Taunton area has its fair share of popular chain restaurants and stores.

Which led us to wonder: are there plans to come to the city from any other big names?

For now, Chik-fil-A customers will have to travel to Fall River or Seekonk.

Tom Petty fans, check out this Taunton-area tribute band

Chris Chartier of Bridgewater and his fellow band members can transport you back to 1976 when Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers released “American Girl” as part of their debut album.

Chartier is lead vocals of The Breakers, a Tom Petty tribute band of local musicians, who will be performing at the Cape Cod Melody Tent on June 11.
