Community members are invited to take an online questionnaire in support of the fall placemaking festival, sign up as a festival volunteer, and attend a series of virtual and in-person Visioning Workshops about the future of the plan area

WHEATON, MD – The Montgomery County Planning Department, part of The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC), is hosting several opportunities for the community to get involved with the Fairland and Briggs Chaney Master Plan. These include efforts to support the Fairland and Briggs Chaney Placemaking Festival as well as the plan’s Visioning Phase, starting on June 27 and taking place through the summer.


Last November we let you know that it was likely Chipotle would be taking over the Little Caesers location in Briggs Chaney Marketplace. That move has now been confirmed, but a projected opening date is not currently available.

Little Caesars closed the Briggs Chaney Marketplace location at the beginning of the summer in 2021 and many local residents have wondered what would be taking its place. We are told the location could possibly be a walk-up/drive-thru only Chipotle, which isn’t common in the area.

This morning we were told by a reliable source that Chipotle would be moving in to the recently closed Little Caesars location in the Briggs Chaney MarketPlace shopping center.

Little Caesars closed the Briggs Location early this past summer and many local residents have wondered what would be taking its place. We are told the location would be a walk-up/drive-thru only Chipotle, which isn’t common in the area.
