Boston Sea Party

In 1976, to celebrate the bicentennial of the United States, a chain of “high-end” seafood eateries with a patriotic moniker called Boston Sea Party opened. At its peak, the business featured facilities in several of the largest convention centers in the US. By the end of the 1990s or the start of the 2000s, every location had shut down.

In 1995, the first Briazz sandwich store in Seattle was established. However, things didn’t last long. Eventually, the business had locations “across America as far as Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.” When Briazz filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2004, the company was subsequently acquired by the Organic to Go company, who renamed the remaining outlets.
