The Burger King located at 16004 Shady Grove Rd has been temporarily closed for renovations since the start of 2021.
We stopped by earlier to take a look at the progress and it looks as though the exterior of the building is almost ready to go, but there’s plenty of work to be done on the interior and in the surrounding parking and drive-thru areas (photos below).
Call Your Mother, the award-winning Jew-ish deli, at Pike & Rose will open TOMORROW (Monday, September 20th). Located at 11807 Grand Park Ave. in North Bethesda, MD, the bagel shop and deli will feature homemade, signature bagels, creative sandwiches, coffee, and nostalgic pastries.

Back in March we let you know that Zofia’s Kitchen would be taking over the location that was home to Mahshad Modern Persian Kitchen in King Farm at 404 King Farm Blvd.
There wasn’t any progress after the Zofia’s Kitchen Instagram post announcing the location and a “space available” sign was put up a couple months back. We called Zofia’s Kitchen this morning, which now operates as Rogi, and were told that the deal fell through and that there are currently no plans to move into the area.
