Alex Baby and Toys, a new concept from FYE, will be coming soon to Montgomery Mall. It will be located downstairs next to Old Navy. Though the FYE website lists two locations at Montgomery Mall (doesn’t specify that the locations are not yet open), we are told there will only be one in the mall.
Signage is up on the exterior of the upcoming toy/baby product store, but construction remains ongoing inside. As of now, there aren’t many details as to what the store will provide, but the name is pretty telling.
Grog Beer and Wine is now open 513 Quince Orchard Rd in the Firstfield shopping center in Gaithersburg. The beer and wine is now occupying the location that was formerly home to SuperCuts.

Frederick Rd/355 is currently shut down in both directions at Shakespeare Boulevard in Germantown due to a collision involving a rollover and entrapment.
Montgomery County Fire and Rescue and MCPD are currently on the scene.
The Burger King located at 16004 Shady Grove Rd has reopened after being closed for renovations since the start of 2021. Along with Burger King comes Ripieno’s of Ocean City and Jo Jo’s Express, which has a location in Salisbury. All three restaurants have separate menus and cashiers and the setup of the restaurant is similar to that off a food hall/food court with a common dining area.
Ripieno’s features its famous 28” wood-fire pizza, calzones, and subs. JoJo’s Express features “American style” dishes like fried chicken, steak, and fried seafood. The Burger King has the standard Burger King menu and is available from the drive-thru (the other two restaurants are not available via drive-thru). All three restaurants also share a salad bar. Check out this video of how huge the pizza actually is.
