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.

It looks as though CVS will be taking over the old Tommy Joe’s/O’Donnell’s location in the Kentlands (311 Kentlands Blvd).
We spoke with Gaithersburg Councilmember Neil Harris, who told us he heard rumblings of the pharmacy chain’s potential arrival a couple months back. With some light construction having begun inside the building, it looks as if some major changes are coming to the building soon.

Janice told me that she has been running the restaurant for a few months now and that the official change will take place in about three weeks.
The Clarksburg Tavern will still have a similar menu that will include items like the Monte Cristo, but will also feature bar food, a 1lb ribeye, chops, salads, a shrimp cocktail, and a variety of daily specials.

The restaurant focuses on serving healthy, seasonal, sustainable, and organic food with plenty of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options.
