In December we let you know that the founder of Sweet Frog, Derek Cha, will be bringing his take on the Nashville-style hot chicken sandwich to MoCo with Hangry Joe’s Hot Chicken. The restaurant will be located in the Travilah Square Shopping Center (the shopping center is anchored by Trader Joe’s) in Rockville, between Pholuscious and Tropical Smoothie Cafe, in the 1,600 sf location that was home to El Mexicano at 10050 Darnestown Road, per H&R Retail.

After a little over a year of the property remaining vacant, H&R Retail has listed Holy Cross Health as the new occupant of the space formerly occupied by Flower Child.

Holy Cross Health is an Urgent Care center that will be operated by Holy Cross, a member of Trinity Health.
