Eyewear brand Warby Parker, which does most of its business online, has opened a brick and mortar location in the old Hair Cuttery location at 136 Crown Park Ave in the Downtown Crown neighborhood in Gaithersburg.
The Crown store, which is MoCo’s second after Bethesda Row opened in 2017, carries the brand’s full optical and sun eyewear offerings including its first brand of daily contact lenses. The store will offer eye exams and children’s glasses that are only available in store.
Management from Crown in Gaithersburg has notified us that the concrete barriers in Decoverly have been removed as of yesterday
Decoverly drive is now open to traffic from Great Seneca Highway and Fields Road. The barriers have been there since Crown started moving people in back in 2013.
Verizon Wireless, located next to Downtown Crown Beer & Wine, was expecting to undergo renovations, but employees told us they were closing permanently a few days back. We are told fast-casual salad restaurant Sweetgreen will be moving in to the space next.
Sweetgreen currently has three MoCo locations, in Bethesda, Downtown Silver Spring, and Pike & Rose. Crown has been without a salad fast-casual restaurant since Chopt closed in early 2020 with plans to move that location to the Kentlands neighborhood.
