The Dunkin Donuts that’s located in the recently renovated Rock Grove Center on the corner of 355 and Shady Grove will be relocating, according to Chris Wilkinson of JBG Smith. It will be moving to the back side of the shopping center, taking over the old United Bank location at 16268 Frederick Rd. The bank had a drive-thru, which will be used by Dunkin’.

Due to the design and location of the drive-thru, traffic should not see any major impacts on Shady Grove Rd or 355. Qdoba will be opening soon in Rock Grove and the shopping center is in talks to bring on additional retailers in the near future.

Over the summer, Federal Realty announced that the popular Roaming Rooster will open in Fall 2021 at North Bethesda’s Pike & Rose.

We spoke with representatives from the restaurant over the weekend who informed us that the new location will now likely be opening in late April/early May. They cited permits taking much longer than anticipated as being the reason for the delay.
