Montgomery Village Update (What’s New, What’s Closed, and What’s Coming Soon)

Below is a list of restaurants and businesses that have recently opened or will be coming soon to Montgomery Village, MD:

Coming Soon: Dunkin’
Dunkin’ is continuing its massive expansion across the country and in MoCo, with an upcoming location coming to the Goshen Crossing Shopping Center in the former Capital One Bank building at 20000 Goshen Rd. Since Inspire Brands acquired Dunkin’ and Baskin Robbins in late 2020 for $11.3 billion, the company has been opening in former bank locations that allow for easy installation of a drive-thru window. Dunkin has also aimed for non-traditional development that includes opening in airports and on college campuses, including the University of Maryland.

Now Open: The Joint
The Joint, an “affordable chiropractic care center,”  opened at 19218 Montgomery Village Ave in the Montgomery Village Center in November.  The Joint is a Scottsdale, Arizona based operator and franchisor of chiropractic clinics, which operates over 700 clinics nationwide. It was originally founded in 1999 by a Doctor of Chiropractic with “a vision to transform the traditional, often misunderstood concept of routine chiropractic care by making it more convenient, friendly and affordable.” In March 2010, The Joint was re-founded with the acquisition of the original eight franchised clinics.

Now Open: New Fashion Hair Salon
New Fashion Hair Salon at 20217 Goshen Rd in the Goshen Oaks Shopping Center held their soft opening on December 10.  The salon has been remodeled and is now under new ownership/management.

Now Open: Vape Shop
A new vape and e-cigarette shop has opened at 9116 Rothbury Dr in the Goshen Plaza Shopping Center, taking over the space previously occupied by I Love Kickboxing.  The new store sells tobacco, vape cartridges, hookah, and kratom, an herbal supplement that has “opioid properties and some stimulant-like effects.”

Closed: Hogabs Jerky / Coming Soon: Braiding Center
