Blueridge Restaurant Group has announced its plans to rename all of its Stanford-branded restaurants to “Glenwood’s” over the next few months.
This includes the Stanford Grill location at 2000 Tower Oaks Blvd in Rockville. The restaurant was named after its original location on Stanford Boulevard in Columbia, MD, which opened 13 years ago. Blueridge Restaurant Group also operares Copper Canyon Grill, which has locations in Gaithersburg and Silver Spring.
According to a press release, “The transition to Glenwood’s is part of Blueridge’s larger geographic expansion plan which aims to increase its 7 current operating units to 20 over the next several years. Expansion will initially focus on nearby states with the ultimate goal of developing a nationwide presence.”
“Since the opening of Stanford Grill, our focus has been on offering the local community an upscale yet approachable dining experience that prioritizes attention to the smallest details. Our approach has been less about us and more about understanding our guests’ desires. Consistently providing delicious cuisine, refined service, and a beautiful setting has been and will continue to be our priority,” said Managing Member David Jones. “While the announcement of this new name brings excitement for our Company’s future, we will stay true to the principles that have established us as one of the most popular dining destinations in our area. These principles are what made us who we are, and we will remain committed to them, regardless of our name.”
