RED HUE CLOSING AT ROCKVILLE TOWN SQUARE, RADIO SHACK CONFIRMS CLOSING IN ROCKVILLE (PHOTOS)

Red Hue is closing its Rockville Town Square boutique on February 15. The owners say their apparel will still be available online, and through other retail outlets in the area. This is the most recent of many closings at the Federal Realty property, which some say is the result of the parking setup there. Residents and city officials alike have expressed concern that Rockville's flagship retail destination could lose business to new competitors Pike & Rose and Downtown Crown, as well as RIO/Washingtonian Center, all of which offer limited (2 hours at Pike & Rose) or unlimited free parking.

Meanwhile, Rockville's venerable Radio Shack store at 1600 Rockville Pike is now confirmed to be on the bankrupt company's closure list. The store has gone into "Everything Must Go!!!" mode, with savings of 30-50% off.

  1. This has been unreal to see this happen to the square. Been living in the apartments for 3 years, this past year has been one of the worst. All the businesses leaving because rent is too damn high, and the everlasting construction of the hotel/apartment complex.

  2. Robert got it exactly right: Parking there is a hassle and there are no other retail or restaurant locations in the area where you have to concern yourself with validation and clock-watching and paying to window shop.
