You guys know those shoes your dad has had for like 11 years? The ones he wears for 8 straight days on vacation in Europe telling everyone how comfortable they are. By day 5 everyone is looking around like shut it about your shoes already dad. Well the company that makes them, Rockport, is coming to W. Newton.

The Rockport Group is moving it’s HQ to 1210-1220 Washington St — which is currently occupied by Continuum. Rockport will lease 70,000 sq/ft and bring 200 employees to W. Newton.

Sources familiar with the situation tell me Rockport employees are likely to burn out on Sweet Tomatoes extremely fast.
