Back in June we reported that CVS would be taking over the old Tommy Joe’s/Boulevard Tavern/Brasserie Beck/O’Donnell’s location in the Kentlands.
Gaithersburg Councilmember Neil Harris told us that CVS is moving forward with the plan. Currently City of Gaithersburg staff is reviewing the storm water plan and the final site plan is under review by the planning staff.

Nishiki Ramen & Sushi is now open in the old Yoyogi location at 328 Main Street in the Kentlands.

The Kettler brother (Clarence, Milton, and Charles) built Montgomery Village after Clarence had the idea of building a special town.
In 1962, they bought The Walker Farm, Thomas Farm, The Brothers Mills, The French Farm, The Fulks Farm, The Patton Farm, The Wilson Farm, and The James Walter Deppa property. The Walker Farm was the largest of all the properties the Kettlers bought. It was 412 acres and now is Walkers Choice, Cider Mill, Horizon Run, Christopher Court, Dockside, Nathan’s Hill, Millrace, the library, the day care center, Montgomery Village Plaza, Breckenridge, the Verandahs, Grover’s Forge, Lake Whetstone, South Valley Park and part of Lakeforest Mall (courtesy of The Montgomery Village website).
Pictured you’ll see Silia Campanero Di Franco cutting her brother Attillio Campanaro’s hair. The Watkins Mill graduates have moved their salon, Illusions Hair Studio, from the Montgomery Village shopping center to Quince Orchard Plaza.
In 1966, 18-year old Rico Campanero arrived in the United States from Italy, having never given a single haircut. But in 1968 he purchased his first barber shop – Rocco’s located in Silver Spring. Now, six salons later (including locations in Lake Forest Mall and Frederick), 71-year-old Rico, his wife Grace and two of his three children, Attilio and Silia (graduates of Watkins Mill High School) have relocated Illusions Hair Studio from Montgomery Village to Quince Orchard Plaza in Gaithersburg, Maryland due to construction and redevelopment of the Montgomery Village shopping center.
As most of us know by now, Barrels & Brews will be taking over the old Potomac Pizza/Deli spot in the Kentlands at 625 Center Point Way.
The same logo was used for a Facebook event in Spokane, Washington back in 2017, but we are unsure if they’re related. We are thinking a Brew Belly type of concept that features beer, wine, and food, but that’s still just speculation as we have not been able to get in contact with the owners.
Burtons Grill and Bar will open its first MoCo location in the Kentlands, moving in to the larger spot across the paseo from MOD Pizza. The Massachusetts based chain extends […]
