The Lube Center, known for its 10 minute oil changes, has signed a lease to take over the vacant location that was previously home to Ziki Japanese Steakhouse at 10009 Fields Rd in Gaithersburg.
Plans from the Lube Center, which currently operates next door at 10007 Fields are will soon be submitted so that the building can be knocked down and a new car wash can be constructed. The existing Lube Center will remain and offer a free car wash to anyone who gets their oil changed at the neighboring location. The car wash will also offer monthly memberships to customers.
Ziki Japanese Steakhouse closed in March 2020 and never reopened. Initially the restaurant, which has a location in Annapolis, stated that it would reopen the Gaithersburg location, but that never occurred. A timeline for demolition and construction is currently pending approval of plans.
