Reading, Chamber Of Commerce Partner On Bistro Table Program

READING, MA — The town of Reading and the Reading-North Reading Chamber of Commerce have partnered to support local businesses by donating eight sets of bistro tables and placing them around town adjacent to restaurants. The aim is to foster outdoor meeting spots, the Chamber said.

Reading's Economic Development plan outlines supporting local businesses as an important goal. The town and Chamber collaborated to create The Bistro Table program to support local businesses while encouraging informal sidewalk dining options as part of the COVID-19 re-opening of the economy.

These tables are in front of Last Corner restaurant and Green Tomato near the train depot, and Fusion Café and Professor’s Market along Main Street.

"The bistro tables are the perfect spot to meet a friend for coffee or enjoy take out from our local businesses," remarked Robin Krane, chamber president, said in a statement.

The mission of the Reading-North Reading Chamber of Commerce is to foster a thriving business community that facilitates connections between businesses, engagement between businesses and residents and long-term economic growth in the community.
