Furniture & Rug Depot has closed its longtime location at 5230 Randolph Road in Rockville after approximately 30 years in Montgomery County. The retailer officially ceased operations at the location a few weeks back, following a store-closing liquidation sale.
The closure marks the end of a lengthy run at the Randolph Road shopping center. Furniture & Rug Depot first opened in Germantown during the 1990s before relocating to Rockville in 2005. Earlier this year, the retailer announced plans to close after losing its lease.
Over the years, the store became known for its frequent “closing” and liquidation sales, prompting local residents to occasionally joke online about whether the business was actually shutting down. This time, however, the closure was official.
Although the Rockville location has closed, the business has indicated that it plans to return to Montgomery County. A notice posted at the former storefront states that the location will remain temporarily closed until Furniture & Rug Depot relocates to a new facility within the county. A specific location or reopening date has not yet been announced. In the meantime, customers are being directed to the company’s Laurel location at 14260 Baltimore Avenue. The business can also be reached at 301-990-1333 or by text at 240-388-8989.
In related news for Loehmann’s Plaza, Sprouts Farmers Market signed on to anchor a major redevelopment project at the shopping center. Landlord Willard Retail previously confirmed that the specialty grocer plans to open an additional Montgomery County location at the center, following its Burtonsville store and a planned location at the Lakeforest redevelopment in Gaithersburg. The project is moving through the permitting process, and specific details regarding which space Sprouts will occupy within the plaza have not yet been announced.
