The contents of the recently closed Boston Market at 494 N Frederick Ave Unit B in Gaithersburg Square are currently up for auction through Capital Online Auctions. Items include kitchen equipment, signage, furniture, fixtures, and POS computers. Capital Online will also be auctioning the contents of Lakeforest Mall later this month.
Last January we reported that Boston Market would be opening a new Rockville Pike location, according to signage that was put up at the old Katsu Go location in Towne Plaza (the shopping center that’s home to Navy Federal Credit Union and PM Pediatrics) at 12238 Rockville Pike Rockville, MD 20852.

The restaurant previously had a location just a couple miles away– on Randolph Road in Loehmann’s Plaza. That location closed back in February of 2019 and has since been replaced by Toosso.
