Cava

According to Reuter’s, CAVA will pay $12.75 per share (a 33% premium to the 8/16/18 closing price). CAVA opened its 64th fast casual restaurant in Potomac Yards in DC earlier this week. This deal could potentially bring them up to over 300 locations. the purchase will be financed through a significant equity investment in Cava led by Act III Holdings, the investment vehicle create by Ron Shaich, founder, chairman, and former CEO of Panera Bread, and take Zoes private. After closing, Shaich will serve as chairman of the combined company. Brett Schulman, current CEO of Cava, will take over the same role to “work closely with the existing leadership teams at Zoes Kitchen and Cava to oversee their growth and evolution.

There are currently 3 Zoes Kitchen locations in MoCo– In Gaithersburg, Germantown, and Park Potomac.


Rockville

The restaurant is MoCo owned and operated. Owners Jonathan Bostin (grew up in Laytonsville and graduated from Poolesville High School) and Steve Deffinbaugh (graduated from Seneca Valley High School) have also opened a sister restaurant in Frederick– Ragin’ Reef (506 E. Church Street).

I have friends that rave about the happy hour and was told that it runs EVERY DAY from 3pm until close at the bar (Monday-Friday from 3pm-7pm in the dining room).


Kensington

The location will have a coffee lounge with sofas and community tables and will serve breakfast and lunch all day

They will serve Vigilante coffee from Hyattsville and offer growlers of cold brew for $16.99 for a 32 ounce growler and $8.99 for a refill. Cold brew can be served for up to two weeks out of that growler.

Not sure what exercises to do to make the most of your time?
You don’t necessarily NEED a gym membership in order to get into shape. You can workout as you like and still feel and look great!

Gym-timidation
Sometimes the gym atmosphere isn’t for everyone. The grunting, sweating, and loud thumbs from weights being thrown around can be scary and intimidating at first. It is not always a very welcoming atmosphere for all. Luckily, you can still lose fat and build muscle while getting a good workout with no equipment necessary!


Bethesda

Today, Bethesda Beat reported that Alonso and Alvaro Roche will close their other Bethesda restaurants– TacoArepa, 202 Donuts & Coffee, and 202 Next Door.

Bold Bite gained popularity when it was located next to Blackfinn on Fairmont Avenue. The restaurant moved to 4903 Cordell Avenue with an expanded menu, and remained there until closing last week.

Vatche and Maral Abkarian decided to open the restaurant just over a year and a half ago. It’s located at 7217 Muncaster Mill Road, in the same location that was Home to Steaming Blues Crab House.

Their daughter Sophie, a recent Magruder graduate, can often be found running the counter– taking care of the carry-out customers and handling all of the dine-in orders.
