After nearly 15 years of serving seafood in Concord, Newick’s Lobster House’s Loudon Road location permanently closed last week.
The owner of the New Hampshire-based company knew this time was coming since its location on the Heights near chain restaurants like Applebees, Longhorn Steakhouse, the 99 bar and grill, and even Taco Bell wasn’t ideal.
“This isn’t something we haven’t been through before,” owner Steve Newick said, referring to other unsuccessful expansion efforts. “It’s just the timing with the lease. I couldn’t sign up for another long-term lease knowing that we wanted to move.”
