We are told that Pandora is pursuing legal action against their landlords for charging them more rent than their other tenants.
We’ve received word that SpiceLife Indian Fare will be taking over the location.
The dessert spot, which isn’t limited to mangos, should open in the first half of 2019.
Yesterday, the Korean BBQ restaurant announced that their Rockville location will be going with an AYCE menu Monday-Thursday.
As was rumored earlier this year, Silver Diner will be taking over the old Cafe Deluxe location in the same building as the AMC theaters and the upcoming Dave & Buster’s.
Half of the renovations to AMC have been completed, as the downstairs level is now open for business.
I spoke with a Zoes Kitchen employee who told me that tomorrow, Sunday, 9/30, will be their last day.

Mellow Mushroom sent an email to their customers announcing that their Rockville location is now closed.

There have been rumblings that it will be closing permanently, but an employee from their Gaithersburg location told me “it should be open again in a couple weeks.”

The 1,800 foot restaurant is located at 706 Center Point Way, next to Starbucks. It was formerly home to another sushi restaurant, Hakuba.
Honey Pig recently opened a new Rockville location (12015-G Rockville Pike at Montrose Crossing), but that location will not be changing.
