A new fire pit has been added to Gaithersburg Square as part of the $6.6 million dollar renovations of the center. The fire pit, which is not yet active, is located in front of the former Chuck E. Cheese location.
“Coming Soon” signage is also up for &pizza at the center. The restaurant will be located next to Quickway Japanese Hibachi and Chipotle.
The wait is over, as the much anticipated opening of La Gula Mexicana is here. The restaurant is currently holding a soft opening, as they train new staff and work out a few kinks prior to fully opening.
La Gula Mexicana is owned and operated by the same people who have brought you Taco Bar El Guero (located in Gaithersburg near Rio) and Ixtapalapa on 355 in Gaithersburg.

South Block, a smoothie and juice bar best known for their acai bowls, shared that they are opening a new location in Pike & Rose. Per their Instagram announcement, they are hoping to open by summer 2022.

Along with their acai bowls, South Block offers other fruit and vegetable-based bowls, a range of smoothies, and cold pressed juices. They currently have eleven locations throughout DC and Virginia– their Pike & Rose spot will be their first location in Maryland. In addition to their brick and mortar locations, South Block has an online storefront where they sell pre-blended smoothie bowl kits that they deliver throughout the continental United States.
