"Restaurateur Todd English, whose Boston roots go back decades, now only operates two restaurants here (two locations of Figs, a pizzeria), mostly focusing on his other brands in other cities (and several other Figs locations in the United States and abroad). English is planning to franchise Figs with Fransmart, aiming to bring its oblong pizzas worldwide (in addition to the existing international locations in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates)." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
