It has been nearly a year since we first reported that Office Depot would be closing and that an Amazon grocery store would be taking its place. A few months later we found out it would be an Amazon Fresh store.

We stopped by the upcoming grocery store, located at 15790 Shady Grove Road in Gaithersburg, to check out the progress, and plenty has been made. The interior is being completely renovated and construction is ongoing.


MoCo’s first Amazon Fresh looks almost ready to go at Collection Chevy Chase next to the Friendship Heights Metro stop. The grocery store will be taking over the location that was previously home to Giant at 5463 Wisconsin Avenue.

The interior looked fairly close to being ready, but the exterior seems completely ready to go with signage up and shopping carts present at the grocery store (photos below). No opening date has been provided yet.


On Sunday, August 1, Southbound Wisconsin Avenue (MD-355) will be closed between Somerset Terrace and South Park Avenue in Friendship Heights. The closure is scheduled from 7AM to 7PM, weather and progress permitting.

The closure is needed for a crane to install equipment inside the Chevy Chase Building at 5530 Wisconsin Avenue. Pedestrians and Ride On route 34 will also be detoured around the work zone. Northbound traffic on Wisconsin Avenue will not be totally diverted, however the left northbound lane will also be closed.


Common Plate Hospitality announced today that they will be opening their first food hall in Maryland with The Heights Food Hall at Wisconsin Place.  The new food hall will be opening in the space formerly occupied by Anthropologie and PF Chang’s on the 5400 block of Wisconsin Ave.

According to a press release, “The Heights’ contemporary design consolidates the bright open space with white walls, art murals, charming textiles, modern lighting, and greenscaping to create a vibrant culinary oasis. Some creative concepts to join the Heights include eight food stalls that will feature a variety of international cuisine, a full-service bar, a speakeasy and Urbano @ The Heights – a contemporary Tex-Mex concept from Common Plate Hospitality”.
