Renovations have started at the Walnut Hill shopping center at 16529 S Frederick Ave in Gaithersburg.
Last year, the Gaithersburg City Council approved the annexation of the shopping center, which paved the way for Aldi to move in to part of the old grocery store space and a new Sheetz to be built. Aldi will be taking over a little more than half of the space that was previously home to Weis, and Concentra, a nationwide leader occupational medicine, will occupy the adjacent space.
The completion of renovations and the opening of Aldi are both scheduled for this summer. The Sheetz is expected to open in 2025.
A Flash/Rapid Bus transit center will be located at the intersection of 355 and S. Westland Dr., and the shopping center will be gifting Montgomery County over an acre of land on the property to facilitate the project. You can read more about Montgomery County’s Bus Rapid Transit Project here.
Photos of the construction can be seen below, as well as renderings of the what the center will look like after renovations are completed.
