Moe’s Southwest Grill is coming back to MoCo as the fast casual Mexican restaurant prepares for an opening in the Wheaton Mall food court.

Many of you may remember that Moe’s previously had MoCo location last in Gaithersburg at the Potomac Valley shopping center until October of 2015, in Rockville Town Square, where Finnegan’s Wake is now located, and in Silver Spring on Tech Rd where Qdoba is now located, so this will be the Atlanta-based chain’s fourth go around in Montgomery County.


The Passion Bakery Café has opened its third location at Plaza del Mercado in Silver Spring, MD on October 17, 2019.

Owned and operated by Melvin Mendoza and Huber Mendoza, The Passion Bakery Cafe features gourmet cakes, pastries, and breakfast and lunch sandwiches. The bakery also offers sugar-free, gluten-free and eggless cakes.


Last year the Corned Beef King packed up and moved from Olney to Liberty gas station at Rockville Pike and Twinbrook. After almost a year and a half, Corned Beef King will be moving to a space inside of Dawson’s Market.

Dawson’s Market re-opened in Rockville Town Square under new ownership this past December after closing for two months.


Three years ago UU Hotpot and Kebab Giles for permits to open a restaurant at the Spectrum Town Center in Gaithersburg. For various reasons, that didn’t work out.

A few months back Baltimore-based hotpot restaurant Hot Pot Hero took over the location and has made strides towards having the restaurant ready to open soon (no exact date yet, but I would expect it to open by the end of 2019, barring any unforeseen circumstances).
