There’s no shortage of features for eating or drinking, socializing with friends, going on a date, or watching a game. However, what the community is looking for is a local position that consumers can call their own, starting outside the chains run through the aforementioned companies.
Enter The Boulevard to that hunger.

Shumway said it spotted a shift in culinary trends post-COVID, with consumers adapting to takeout and self-service options. This concept has reduced the number of employees at the entrance desk, which, according to Shumway, would never have worked a decade ago. The Boulevard created 23 jobs and hired a new personal logo.

There’s nothing like this unless they’re chain stores. We needed a sports bar with a better price,” he says. “Their alcohol and food costs are quite moderate in comparison. “
In addition to catching games, The Boulevard also positions itself as a place to pay attention to music. They book acoustic artists who perform Jimmy Buffett-style tunes and host a night of karaoke and reggae on Sundays now that football season is over. Also, every Friday there is a DJ.
The Boulevard, whose tagline is “Where the Legends Shine,” incorporated a tribute to some of the prominent musicians who died at the age of 27. There is a neon sign that says “Club 27” and 4 photographs of Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Amy Winehouse. Shumway calls them “the fallen angels who had a wonderful influence on people’s lives. “
