By Patrick Herron

Edith’s is the upcoming restaurant from Breads Unlimited, located just a few doors down at 6914 Arlington Rd.  Edith’s will be releasing information on their opening date in the next few days.

The restaurant says they wanted to create a couple of days for the community to come and visit the anticipated pizza shop, and “to try our pizza, and to give us feedback on what they would like.  At the bakery, we always adapt to what the community wants and needs are. We will continue that tradition with the pizza shop and create a menu that is representative of the community and what they enjoy to eat!”

Update on the Olney Crab House

By Patrick Herron

We first reported back in November 2019 that the Olney Crab House was coming to the location that used to be home to The Olney Tavern (18200 Georgia Avenue) in the Hillcrest Center in Olney.  Renovations on the building began in the summer of 2020 but since then, the building has largely remained dormant and “For Lease” signs were placed back on the building in late 2020.

Today we were informed by the property management of center that the original owners had pulled out of the location and new owners have just recently taken over the lease. The new owners are still planning to open the restaurant as a crab house.  No timeframe for opening was provided.

The Dunkin Donuts that’s located in the recently renovated Rock Grove Center on the corner of 355 and Shady Grove will be relocating, according to Chris Wilkinson of JBG Smith. It will be moving to the back side of the shopping center, taking over the old United Bank location at 16268 Frederick Rd. The bank had a drive-thru, which will be used by Dunkin’.

Due to the design and location of the drive-thru, traffic should not see any major impacts on Shady Grove Rd or 355. Qdoba will be opening soon in Rock Grove and the shopping center is in talks to bring on additional retailers in the near future.
