Cape Cod Lobster Joint Can't Claw Its Way Back to Life

From Dave Brigham:

Lobster shacks and Cape Cod go together like Cape Cod and lobster shacks. But the unimaginatively named American Lobster Mart has slathered its last lobster roll with mayo and has gone to Restaurant Heaven.

Located at the Bourne traffic circle, the eatery was in business for a few decades, I believe, before closing in 2020. The 928-square-foot building was sold in 2021 for $575,000, according to the Internet.

(Nice little boat decoration outside the old lobster mart.)

On my visit last fall, I noticed that quite a bit of land behind the lobster mart, as well as the All Seasons Inn next door along Trowbridge Road, has been cleared. Changes are coming to the traffic circle. Earlier this month, the Town of Bourne moved an old tourist information booth to make way for a new Cumberland Farms convenience store/gas station complex.
