Zachary's owner Joe McGovern said the potential move was a "definite maybe." 

McGovern, who has owned Zachary's for 10 years, said the restaurant has been at its current location for more than 20 years. 

But, he is eyeing a move to increase the size of his restaurant. Currently there is seating for 46, but the new location would have around 100 seats, he said.

McGovern said he may gain some patrons from the Easton side of 138 and said there was a lot of foot traffic in that area. 

He said he is still trying to workout all the details; waiting on drawings and a date to appear before the Board of Selectmen. 

McGovern said he is targeting September 2012 for the possible move.
