Saus, a sandwich and fry shop known for its variety of signature sauces, will shutter its final location at Bow Market in Somerville in December 2026. The business owners announced the closure through an Instagram post, noting they intend to move on to new endeavors.
Why it matters
The closure marks the end of a fifteen-year operational history for the business that first began in Downtown Boston in 2011. It leaves a vacancy at the popular Bow Market hub, where the shop operated for eight years.
The business operated at the Bow Market location for 8 years, contributing to a total of 15 years of operational history since the company's inception. The menu featured 16 different types of sauces.
