Hallmark at 227 Kentlands Blvd in Gaithersburg is set to close this month and is currently offering 50% off all items in the store.
In November, we reported that Play Street Museum will open its first Montgomery County location in mid-2025 in the space that is currently occupied by Hallmark. It is described as a unique indoor kids’ playground for ages 0-7, offering educational and collaborative play, with pottery and art for older kids. The upcoming location will have open play during the week (by reservation for cleanliness) and birthday parties on weekends.
Customers are directed to visit nearby Hallmark locations in Germantown, Olney, and Rockville.
Hallmark was founded in 1910 by teenage entrepreneur J.C. Hall, and remaining a private company with family members on the board of directors today, Hallmark’s businesses employ more than 20,000 people worldwide. “While there are many ways to experience Hallmark, the experiences that matter most to the company are the ones our customers are able to share with their friends and loved ones. We strive each day to help those experiences – and those connections – come to life. In each of our businesses we aim to be good community partners, we believe embracing diversity and inclusion is the best way to understand and serve our employees and consumers, and we strive to be environmentally responsible. This all helps to fulfill our purpose of inspiring meaningful relationships and enhancing lives.”
