Restaurant

Back in November of 2020, we let you know that Jongro BBQ, a popular New York Korean BBQ restaurant, is opening up shop at Wheaton Mall. The latest update we have received from Westfield Wheaton (this past October) is that the restaurant is expected to open in January, 2022.

On January 6th at 10am, the restaurant will have an ABS hearing for the alcohol license application on behalf of Jongro BBQ Corporation for a Class B, Beer, Wine, and Liquor License, On Sale Only, for the premises known as JongRo BBQ.

Hook & Reel will have its beer, wine, and liquor license hearing on Thursday, October 7th at 9:30am.

It has been nearly two years, December of 2019, since we let you know that the Cajun seafood restaurant and bar would be coming to MoCo with two new locations (Gaithersburg and Wheaton).


Shopping

The Westfield malls in Montgomery County reopened this past Monday, June 23. Here are some more details on what Wheaton Mall specifically looks like:

Even though it’s the first week, many people are already frequenting the mall. All stores must follow a set of safety guidelines designated by both Westfield and the government, which includes mandating customers to wear masks, prohibiting outside food and drink, and disinfecting high-contact areas frequently. These guidelines are posted on signs throughout the mall.
