During the Celtics’ playoff run, Tom Brady surprised Jayson Tatum with a personalized gift, an autographed Patriots jersey. Despite no longer being in New England, Brady supports Boston athletes. With all his love for the city, there is still something that is not making the legend happy. Layoffs have affected Brady’s NFT startup Autograph, reducing its workforce by nearly a third. And one more store is now going down.

The closure of Tom Brady’s center in Boston has left many puzzled. Speculations arise as to whether it was connected to Brady’s departure from the Patriots or his involvement in a bankrupt cryptocurrency venture. However, the true reason behind the closure remains a mystery.

TB12, Tom Brady’s fitness venture promoting healthy habits, closed a location without explanation, per WCVB Channel 5. The closure may be linked to Brady’s departure from the New England Patriots to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Florida. The TB12 website highlights flagship locations in Foxborough and Tampa, suggesting equal attention to both markets.

The Boston location membership fee on the TB12 website is $200 per year. The closure of Tom Brady’s apparel brand may have been influenced by his retirement and involvement in a bankrupt cryptocurrency venture, but the true reason is unknown.
