Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams opened up its first MoCo location a couple weeks back on Bethesda Row (4918 Elm St) and this Thursday Jeni’s will have its Grand Opening event.

“We make ice cream to bring people together and we design our shops as community gathering places,” said Jeni’s Founder Jeni Britton Bauer. “We love serving people on 14th in DC, but we also love being a destination for families, too, so both Old Town and Bethesda were no brainers. We can’t wait to welcome both communities into our shops.”


UPDATE: Bethesda Magazine has reported that Fran Pepe has delayed its plan to open in Montgomery Mall and that the restaurant is no longer expected to open in late 2020. No new date has been provided.

In a tweet this morning, he wrote that Frank Pepe’s is opening a location in Montgomery Mall in late 2020.
