Two weeks ago, CVS announced that it planned to close around 900 stores over the next three years. Last week, demolition of the building started at the location that was home to O’Donnell’s, Tommy Joe’s, Boulevard Tavern, and Brasserie Beck in the Kentlands neighborhood of Gaithersburg.

Phase One of Twinbrook Quarter is located on the southwest corner of the property at Rockville Pike and Halpine Road and includes residential and commercial space, including a new Wegmans.
