Our round-up of the latest Natick, MA business news:
Pizza Peddler hit by US Labor Dept.
The operator of Pizza Peddler in Natick and Wellesley must pay more than $300K in back wages and liquidated damages to 14 employees after the U.S. Department of Labor obtained summary judgment in federal court.

According to a MetroWest Daily News report, the owner’s lawyer said the family-run business plans to work with the Department of Labor to resolve the matter.
UBreakiFix sign’s up
There’s nothing more exciting for us than happening across a business sign being raised or taken down. We’ll take one of these over a cheesy ribbon-cutting any day.
We stumbled across a couple of guys in a lift putting up the sign for a new UBreakiFix electronic device repair shop at the 9/27 Plaza. They seemed to be working deliberately, careful to avoid a WeBreakWeFix situation.
The shop sits in between Panera and a UPS Store. A Scottrade stock brokerage firm used to occupy the space, but that outfit has been gobbled up by another.
