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.
Bethesda’s Wildwood Shopping Center welcomes Bethesda Bagels.
Featuring handmade NY-style bagels, the 1,800 square-foot store is located near CVS and solidcore and will be open Mon-Sat 6:30am-5pm and Sun 7am-3pm.
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).
Earlier this year, Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group agreed to be bought by private equity firm L Catterton for $267.3 million. Last month, Landry’s, Inc. signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouses and the Del Frisco’s Grilles from L Catterton.
We aren’t sure of what will become of the current Del Frisco’s Grille in Pike & Rose, but we were told today that October 20th will be the last day it operates as Del Frisco’s before closing.

ViVi Bubble Tea, a New York Based bubble tea chain, will be opening soon in Montgomery Village Plaza (18236 Countour Rd).
They currently have over 30 locations nationwide, most being in New York. The closest ViVi Bubble Tea location is in Rockville and there was previously a planned location in the Spectrum Town Center in Gaithersburg, but those plans seem to have been cancelled.
Penang, a Malaysian and Thai restaurant in Bethesda (4933 Bethesda Avenue), has closed permanently.
The restaurant opened in Bethesda in 2001 and underwent major renovations in 2014.
Last November we broke the news of Mission BBQ taking over the old Ruby Tuesday location in Germantown (19800 Century Blvd).
In May, we let you know the company was shooting for a November opening. We spoke with Mission BBQ today and were told that November is still the goal, but they are still unsure of an exact day.

Woodside Deli has been a household name for over 70 years, but this morning we received word that the Silver Spring location has closed. We called the location to ask if the Deli is closed permanently and were told “We are closed and we don’t have any other answers for you.”
The Rockville location told us that they will be happily serving the Montgomery County community and that they did not have any answers regarding the Silver Spring location. A Silver Spring deli and catering business that was established in 1947 was recently listed as being under contract on the business-for-sale website BizBuySell.
A few months back we broke the news of Selva Brewing Co. taking over the Growlers location in Olde Towne Gaithersburg.
Yesterday we spoke with the folks over at Sardi’s (who founded Selva) and they told us they’re still a couple months away from opening.
