Home Depot on Shady Grove Road Has Been Sold… to Home Depot

Published February 28, 2023 at 2:26PM

Home Depot has purchased its own store at 15740 Shady Grove Road at the 270 Center in Gaithersburg. According to a report by Maryland Newsletters, Home Depot recently paid $55.5 million for the 102,190 SF building. The store was previously subdivided out of the larger shopping center so that it could be sold individually.

Home Depot is a co-anchor of 270 Center, a shopping center shadow-anchored by a powerful mix of destination retailers including Best Buy, Nordstrom Rack, and soon (maybe), a brand new Amazon Fresh grocer. The property benefits from high historical occupancy, high sales, and long-term leases. Nordstrom Rack has been at the property for ±10 years and is ranked the 2nd busiest Nordstrom Rack in the state of Maryland by customer foot traffic. Best Buy has co-anchored the property since its inception in 1994.

This MoCo Restaurant is Open 16 Hours Per Week and Has Lines Into The Parking Lot Most Days

By MCS Staff

Published February 25, 2023 at 11:01PM

Inferno Pizzeria Napoletana has been open in Gaithersburg (12207 Darnestown Rd.) for nearly 7.5 years. As of this past Saturday, there was still a line into the parking lot full of eager diners hoping to get a table before the dough ran out for the night– something that’s a common occurrence for Inferno (see our video below). For those unfamiliar with the restaurant, it was opened by Chef Tony Conte in October 2015 after he spent nine years in DC’s Oval Room. Inferno specializes in pizza, but regulars will tell you that the appetizers are often just as much of a draw.

The restaurant is currently open four days a week– Wednesday through Saturday, from 5pm-9pm…or until the dough runs out. Sometimes that can be pretty early, so if you’re interested in getting a seat we would highly recommend getting there before the restaurant opens and lining up outside. If you want to eat the pizza at home, you can call in your order earlier in the afternoon and pick it up when the restaurant opens at 5pm to take with you, but even carry-out orders are limited to ensure enough dough for customers dining in each day.
