“Opening Soon” signage is up on the windows of Chicken Basket at 30 N. Summit Ave. in Gaithersburg. A building fire closed the restaurant back in April 2019.
In March 2020, Chicken Basket at 4007 Norbeck Rd also closed due to a building fire.
Currently there are “Chicken Basket” restaurants in Burtonsville and Wheaton, although none of the restaurants are associated with each other and all are independently owned.
Items on the Gaithersburg location’s menu back in 2019 included fried chicken, fried seafood, ribs, burgers, subs/cheesesteaks, and wraps.
Footage from the April 2019 fire from twitter:
