Brockton food history lives on at these 9 longtime businesses
Some Brockton food businesses have been around longer than many of us have been alive. Before delivery apps, viral restaurant reels and online reviews, locals already had their go-to spots for pizza, pastries, seafood, candy and good cup of coffee. Some of those places are still here. A recent conversation on social media centered around the longtime businesses across the city. Mixed in with the shops and other familiar names were plenty of places to eat, including restaurants, bakeries, markets, coffee shops and even a homemade candy store. Several Brockton food businesses that were serving customers before the year 2000 are still going today, including a few that have been around for more than 80 years. One dates back more than a century.

Fall River's Frank Clegg buys Tower Mill, expands local commitment
For decades, Frank Clegg Leatherworks has quietly cultivated a worldwide following from its Fall River workshop, crafting high-end leather bags that have turned heads everywhere from the White House to concert tours to the Super Bowl stage. Now the family-run business is building on its over 50-year manufacturing legacy in the Spindle City announcing that they are here to stay. Headed by Fall River native and founder Frank Clegg and his sons Ian and Andrew, the luxury leather goods company has embarked on a new chapter with the purchase of the historic Tower Mill building they have called home for 10 years. “We wanted to permanently stamp our feet into the city,” said Ian Clegg, who handles business operations for the company while his father and brother oversee the production side. Frank Clegg Leatherworks occupies the entire fifth floor of the converted 657 Quarry St. mill building — around 33,000 square feet of the 200,000-square-foot property — which it shares with about 25 tenants, a mix of retail businesses and offices. Now, as one of the only family-owned made-in-America leather goods brands that produces everything in-house, they are looking to continue that tradition with an eye on boosting their Fall

After more than a century, an old Massachusetts cranberry farm gets new life as a wetland
Century Bog, a 75-acre stretch of fields and woods across Plymouth and Wareham, looks more like a construction site than a former cranberry bog. Excavators have churned up soil, ripped out pine trees and broken up buried plastic piping. In their place are wide moats of thick, sloppy mud, so dark they’re nearly black.

Hasbro tells nearly 600 RI workers to work in Boston or quit
Toy giant Hasbro has told 587 Rhode Island-based employees to either relocate to their new Boston headquarters or quit. The move comes as Hasbro, previously based in Pawtucket, plans to shutter its headquarters, put it on the market , and fully transition into its newly built out office space in the Boston Seaport by the end of the year. Hasbro filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act Notice (WARN) with the state on Oct. 8 , required per federal law. Normally the notices are required when a company plans layoffs. In this instance, Hasbro sent the state the letter because it is closing its Rhode Island operations and moving them to Boston. How many workers will choose to quit rather than relocate is unknown, so the company sent the notice, according to the letter. Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, or WARN letters, are required under federal law to be sent to the state in advance of plant closures and mass layoffs. Hasbro Spokeswoman Kristen Levy wrote in an email that Hasbro's statement is that the WARN notice "does not represent a new announcement or layoff notice." "We communicated the move to employees on Sept. 1, 2025 and have been
