There have been major changes in the Kentlands in recent years and they’ll continue as new tenants come to town. Below is an update of some of the recent and upcoming changes.
Making Changes:
Neal’s Bagels has signed on for a new Kentlands location, according to the Kimco website. It will be located between two upcoming restaurants, Brio’s Chicken and Burton’s, both of which are currently under construction without an expected opening date.
We spoke with owner Neil Bressler, who bought Neal’s Bagels about 10 years back (the name just happened to be the same with a different spelling), and he told us that the bagel shop will remain in its existing location for about another year. Neal’s Bagels is currently located about a mile and a half away at the Potomac Valley shopping center in Gaithersburg. The shop has been there for about 30 years, previously operating under the name Bagels Deluxe.
SkinSpirit, a medical spa, is coming soon to 215 Market St. W in the Kentlands. It will be taking over the location that was formerly home to My Big Finds, which is moving into the paseo area of Kentlands.
SkinSpirit provides guests with skin care, body contouring and Botox, among other spa treatments and is supervised by Stanford-trained, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Dean Vistnes. SkinSpirit, which was founded in 2003, promises that it will bring cutting-edge technology and a luxurious spa-like setting to the Kentlands neighborhood of Gaithersburg.
Additional information about the shop below:
My name is Jodi Rapaport, owner of My Big Finds which just celebrated our 6th anniversary in December 2021. I had been set up at various locations such as Lucketts, VA, but felt it was time to bring a fun hip idea to the Kentlands! After working in the brokerage industry for more than twenty years, I left the corporate world behind to start this journey. The name for my business came to me while sitting in traffic day in and day out dreaming of the chance to do what I love vs. what was safe and familiar. The name comes from my children’s initials and the shop represents the unique finds we offer.
