Buffalo Wild Wings closes in Rockville

The lights are on, but nobody's home. While the signs are lit outside of Buffalo Wild Wings at 33-C Maryland Avenue at the Square at Rockville, prospective diners pulling the front door handles were dismayed to find the restaurant has permanently closed. The nearest alternative location is Buffalo Wild Wings GO at 16256 Frederick Road at the Rock Grove shopping center. The departure of B Dubs leaves a sizable space vacant at The Square - I'm casting my early vote for Olive Garden. And Texas Roadhouse for the "half smoke coming soon" vacancy across the street.

Go Fresh 365 supermarket opens in Rockville (Photos)

There's a new grocery store in Rockville. Go Fresh 365 has opened at 1800 Rockville Pike, at the Galvan at Twinbrook development. Last night, there were more helpful employees than customers in the store, which will have to fight the same nutty Montgomery County sign regulations that former tenant Safeway did - most safe drivers will pass the Galvan without seeing any of the businesses there because there is no monument or pole signage at the roadside, and the development is set back far from the road. 

The Long Island City, New York-based grocery chain boasts that it is the "No.1 Asian/Chinese Supermarket Chain" on the East Coast of the United States. Founded in 1995, the company has grown by leaps and bounds through a focus on freshness, and exclusive partnerships with businesses in the fields of fresh produce, livestock breeding, marine fishing, catering services, and commercial real estate.Its mission, it says, is to "create greater values for overseas Chinese and the American people."
