Lightning Strike Causes Building Fire in Germantown
Lightning caused a 2nd alarm fire at 13109 Millhaven Pl. in Germantown around 5pm Tuesday evening.
BoBaPoP is now open at 19847 Century Blvd, Unit J in Germantown, the former site of August 32.
A chalk board at the bubble tea bar says that they are currently having their “soft opening”.
August 32 opened its first MoCo location in October of 2019 in the Germantown Town Center. After just under two years, a closed sign was put up in the front door and paper went up on the windows. A text message confirmed that the restaurant had closed permanently.
They specialized in “tea, tea drinks, bubble tea, and tea-related products.” We reached out via phone and social media, but have not received a response regarding the closure.

A Powerball ticket sold in Germantown delivered a $2 million prize in the July 24 drawing.
There were also four $10,000 scratch-off winners from tickets bought at the following MoCo locations last week (type of scratch-off listed first):
A new shop that will feature “ice cream, acai bowls, dog treats, and more” will be coming to Germantown Town Center, taking over the location that was formerly home to Town Center Cleaners (next to Acqua Nails).
Temporary signage has gone up at the location stating that the shop will offer everything listed above. A neon sign is also up in the window that reads “100% Sweet.” As of now, we’re unsure if it’s referring to the new name of the location or if it’s describing the upcoming menu.
