A previous version of this article listed 808 Rockville Pike as the address of the Wendy’s being remodeled. The correct address is 15807 Frederick Road.

The first 100 customers at the renovated Wendy’s in Derwood could receive free food for a year. The renovated Wendy’s location at 15807 Frederick Rd will reopen on Saturday, January 28th. As the fast food chain did with its 18425 Woodfield Rd restaurant in Gaithersburg, they’ll give away 100 VIP ticket to those 16 and older and present in line at 10:30am when the dining room opens (a purchase is necessary to be considered for a card). Anyone who gets a VIP ticket will be able to come back to the store once a week for a year to receive a free sandwich, salad, or breakfast biscuit.

Standard adoption procedures are still in place. Interested adopters should visit the website to view available pets. An appointment can be made by filling out the application online, calling the shelter at 240-773-5900 during business hours, or walking in. Patrons with scheduled appointments will have priority over walk-ins. Submitting a questionnaire does not reserve an animal for adoption and adoptions are first come, first served by appointment. Information on how to adopt can be found at https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/animalservices/adoption/howtoadopt.html.

Back in April we let you know that Feasty Crab would be taking over the old Red, Hot, & Blue location at 16811 Crabbs Branch Way in Derwood/Redland/Rockville.

We spoke with a representative at the restaurant back in October who told us that it would be open “in about a month” pending inspections. Things have taken a little longer than expected, but only the final inspection is left and the restaurant hopes to open this month.
