The Natick convenience store located at 54-58 East Central Street adjacent to Shanghai Tokyo, will close on October 15th, according to signs in the window and confirmed by staff.

Although officially a 7-11, most customers know the spot as Tedeschi, and with good reason. The sign over the front door identifies it as such, and there are multiple “T” logos throughout the store that agree.

Nevertheless, a 7-11 it is. What’s in a name, anyway? The important thing is that the go-to spot to run in for a soda, coffee, snacks, ice, windshield wiper fluid, and the usual odds and ends you’d expect to find at such a place will be missed.

No word yet on what might move into the busy storefront. We spoke briefly to a staff member who said workers all easily found new jobs nearby.

Papa Wheelies is moving its bike shop from 1400 Worcester St. (Rte. 9 east) in Natick to 8 Church Square in Wellesley.

The Natick shop, which launched as Boston Bicycles 4 years ago, closed this weekend. The Wellesley store is slated to open this week.

Papa Wheelies also has locations in the Back Bay and Portsmouth, NH, where it offers bike sales, rentals, services and accessories.

The shop offers road, mountain, electric, and other bike styles, with prices starting at less than $1,000 and ranging up to 5 figures. Kids’ bikes start at about $125.

We’ve shot a few questions to the business about why it is moving, etc., and will update this past if they get a chance to answer us between the move.

Remaining bike shops in Natick include Landry’s and Dick’s.

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.

The payments, according to the. Department of Labor, result from the defendants’ willful violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The court concluded that the employers failed to pay the required overtime compensation when employees worked more than 40 hours in a workweek, according to the Department of Labor statement.

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.
