The 3,200 SF building that was formerly home to Capital One bank at 9761 Traville Gateway Drive is being marketed as a potential site for a standalone restaurant, according to the brochure for leasing at the shopping center. The bank opened in February of 2003 and closed a few years back. The building has remained vacant ever since. According to renderings (seen below) for what the building would look like after a restaurant moves in, there is space for a patio with plenty of outdoor seating and the bank columns would remain.
Anyone interested in opening a restaurant at a slightly bigger location, that previously housed a restaurant and wouldn’t require as much work, could look a few feet away at 9755 Traville Gateway Drive- the 4,840 SF building that was previously home to Nantucket’s Reef. Potential tenants would be able to join longer tenured restaurant tenants like Bageltowne Deli, Cava Mezze, and Potomac Pizza, or restaurants that are newer to the neighborhood like BB.Q Chicken and Klay Healthy Indian Eats.
Beautiful venue; great art, gifts and hand-crafted items; refreshments; and meet the award-winning painters, photographers, mixed media artists, ceramicists, fiber artists, and more – some 40 artists in all. It’s an extraordinary array of framed wall works, 3-d media including sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, and fiber pieces, and unframed prints.
Among them, you’ll see:
“It has now been four years since we lost five members of the Capital Gazette in a horrific act of violence on a day we will never forget,” said Governor Hogan. “We honor their memory, pray for their loved ones and colleagues, and commemorate the enduring values that they upheld with their tireless dedication and professionalism.”

The Mayor & City Council will proclaim July as Parks and Recreation Month in the City at their meeting on July 5. The proclamation reminds Gaithersburg residents of the importance of parks & recreation facilities, programs, staff, and volunteers while encouraging everyone to embrace active lifestyles & improve their overall health.
