Last year we shared with you that Hook & Reel, a Cajun seafood restaurant and bar would be making its way into MoCo with two new locations.
The Gaithersburg location opened a few months back and we have been provided an update on the Wheaton location, which will be taking over two vacant storefronts between Party City and the old Bar Louie spot.
Jongro BBQ is Coming to Wheaton Mall
Jongro BBQ, a popular New York Korean BBQ restaurant, is opening up shop at Wheaton Mall.
Moe’s Southwest Grill recently came back to MoCo when the fast casual Mexican restaurant opened in the Wheaton Mall food court.
Many of you may remember that Moe’s previously had MoCo location last in Gaithersburg at the Potomac Valley shopping center until October of 2015, in Rockville Town Square (where Finnegan’s Wake is now located), and in Silver Spring on Tech Rd (where Qdoba is now located).
Jollibee is Coming to MoCo This December
Back in March we let you know that Jollibee was making its way to MoCo with its first Maryland location in Wheaton Mall.
The Westfield malls in Montgomery County reopened this past Monday, June 23. Here are some more details on what Wheaton Mall specifically looks like:
Even though it’s the first week, many people are already frequenting the mall. All stores must follow a set of safety guidelines designated by both Westfield and the government, which includes mandating customers to wear masks, prohibiting outside food and drink, and disinfecting high-contact areas frequently. These guidelines are posted on signs throughout the mall.
