Downtown Crown: What’s Closed and What’s Coming Soon

Downtown Crown, the restaurant and retail portion of Gaithersburg’s Crown neighborhood opened in 2014 with Harris Teeter as an anchor and restaurants including Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Coastal Flats, Paladar Latin Kitchen, La Madeleine Country French Café, and more. Though the places listed are all still open, there have been some changes in the area the last nine years or so. Below, we’ll go over a few recent closures, some vacancies, and a pretty big “coming soon.”

BurgerIM, an Israeli burger chain, closed permanently earlier this year after about three and a half years at 200 Ellington Blvd. Doki Toki, an Asian bakery and dessert shop that took over for Mango Mango in May 2022, closed early this past summer after just over a year at 202 Ellington Blvd. Old Town Pour House, one of the original Downtown Crown tenants, closed last month at 212 Ellington Blvd after 8.5 years.

In addition to the three places still listed above that remain vacant, the development also has vacant storefronts between Cinnaholic and La Madeleine and between Ideal Image and Bath & Body Works (which opened at the beginning of this year). The Container Store will be moving in to the space that was previously home to Great Gatherings at 201 Ellington Blvd. We’ll continue to provide updates as new tenants sign on to take over the available spaces. Below you’ll see a social media post from @MrMoCo301 from before Crown opened.
