Yesterday we were informed by a reader that Baskin Robbins will be closing its Congressional Plaza location.
We called the location and management confirmed that the oldest Baskin Robbins location in MoCo (in Congressional Plaza since the mid 60s) will be closing prior to Christmas this year.
We were just informed of two impending closures at Lakeforest Mall in Gaithersburg.
Forever 21, the “fast fashion” retailer known for its trendy offerings and low pricing, filed for bankruptcy last month. At the time, the Lakeforest location was the only one of the four MoCo locations that was not listed as one of the stores expected to close.
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.
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.
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.
Forever 21, the “fast fashion” retailer known for its trendy offerings and low pricing, filed for bankruptcy over the weekend.
