UPDATE: The Olney Ale House expected time reopen in October 2020 prior to Covid. They’ve announced that the process has been delayed due to the pandemic, but that they’ve already started moving forward towards a return. “We will be back,” but an exact date is not available at the time.
Back in August we reported that CB Açaí Bowls and Smoothies is coming to Olney. The signage is now up next to Shell on Georgia Avenue.
CB Açaí Bowls and Smoothies will be located in the Olney Center at 18062 Georgia Avenue, which is currently home to House of Fortune, and is expected to open in the first half of 2020 (aiming for April).
Olney Crab House is coming soon to the location that used to be home to The Olney Tavern (18200 Georgia Avenue).
We know that the business had their liquor license hearing earlier this week (photo sent in by Mark Hajjar), so if all goes as planned, we expect it to open in early 2020.
