Roy Rogers at 718 Rockville Pike in Rockville has permanently closed. The restaurant has been removed from the Roy Rogers website and is listed as permanently closed on Google Business.
Roy Rogers Restaurants was founded in 1968 and has operated in the region for more than 55 years. The chain was owned by Marriott until 1990 and was headquartered in Bethesda, with dozens of locations across Montgomery County during the 1970s and 1980s. Its regional footprint declined in the early 1990s after being acquired by Hardee’s Restaurants, before PEI purchased the Roy Rogers trade name and franchise rights in 2002 and began efforts to rebuild the brand’s presence.
A commercial real estate listing from KLNB indicates that a business called Crust & Crumb is slated to take over the space, though no additional details about the incoming tenant have been announced. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
There are additional Montgomery County Roy Rogers locations in Aspen Hill, Burtonsville, Gaithersburg, and Germantown.
