True Food Kitchen Making Progress in Rio
It has been over a year since we let you know that True Food Kitchen would be taking over the old Joe’s Crab Shack location in Rio.
Work is about to get underway on the rio’s Phase II of renovations, as the fire pit lounge is now under construction.
The second phase features more enhancements along Rio’s lakefront, which will include a cozy fire pit lounge and an expansive and inclusive playground (which will require more permits before construction can begin).
Fantasticks, a customizable gelato bar and pop shop that will be taking over the old 16 Handles/Moorenko’s location, is currently available on the Rio boardwalk.
The dessert spot allows you to choose your toppings, cover your bar in chocolate, and cover it with a drizzle.
Roosters Men’s Grooming Center, a National chain that provides an authentic barbershop experience in a modern, upscale, and unpretentious environment, is coming to Rio.
It will be taking over the old Omaha Steaks location at Grand Corner Avenue, across from Barnes & Noble.
What does shopping look like during COVID-19? Different areas have taken unique approaches to keeping shoppers safe. Locations such as Rockville Town Square, Pike and Rose, and Bethesda Row offer curbside pickup for retail items, as well as food. Rio Lakefront and Downtown Silver Spring, in addition to curb-side pickup, are offering shopping by appointment only. This ensures that stores remain uncrowded and allows for social distancing. Customers are able to call stores that they wish to shop at and set up a time to visit. Masks are required.

Rio Lakefront in Gaithersburg has found creative ways to make social distancing a little more fun.
In order to promote carryout from local restaurants, they have drawn ‘picnic circles’ on the open grass areas, providing expansive seating 6 feet apart with a view of the water.
Guapo’s in Rio temporarily takes over some of the recently closed Union Jack’s to offer more patio seating.
