Papa Gino's announced it's closing seven more locations.
The news comes weeks after a newly formed company called New England Authentic Eats took over the restaurants.
Papa Gino’s CEO Bill Van Epps said in a Facebook post on Sunday that it closed seven additional locations throughout New England, including six in Massachusetts and one in New Hampshire.
Two locations in Framingham are on the list of closures, which includes Papa Gino’s in Natick, Wilbraham, Melrose and Brockton. A Papa Gino’s in Seabrook, New Hampshire is also closing.
"We do not anticipate any additional closings," Van Epps said in the post. "We are doing everything we can to take care of the managers and team members at these locations, including transfers to other Papa Gino’s locations or placement assistance to help them find new jobs."
A large number of Papa Gino's and D'Angelo locations suddenly closed last fall, leaving employees jobless and confused.
"It is never easy having to close restaurants that have meant so much to our team members and guests," the Facebook post added. "But we are committed to rebuilding and revitalizing Papa Gino’s to be better and stronger than ever."
