Is Best Buy planning an exit on Shady Grove Road?


Is Best Buy's future at 15750 Shady Grove Road at the 270 Center in doubt? It sure looks like it from an online listing for the 270 Center. The big box store's "big box" is available for lease, according to the KLNB listing. Whoever the lucky next tenant is will be able to move into the 46,155-square-foot space on February 1, 2025. 

Best Buy announced on a corporate earnings call that it planned to close 10 to 15 stores in 2025. This one on the border of Rockville and Gaithersburg now appears to be one of them. Rockville has a venerable Best Buy store located at 1200 Rockville Pike. Living in the 90s!

  1. Hopefully… this store is terrible.

  2. Why would any major retailer stay in this spiraling left wing cesspool? Marriott has to be exploring exit strategies; they can afford whatever penalties might be incurred.

    2. Why would Marriott leave after spending millions on a brand new headquarters building with new hotel attached? They aren’t leaving anytime soon

  3. Lockheed-Martin as well. Clark Construction already has left.

  4. It’s going to be amazing when Marriott leaves. What will Maoist Marc say?

    1. It kills you seeing MoCo thrive, doesn't it?

    2. By the time they leave you'll be looking like a Thriller character.

  5. That is funny! But I want the County to thrive. It can’t with leadership of this caliber. Vote yes on ballot measure A and send Maoist Marc back to Takoma Park! That rhymes..

  6. A lot of fun memories of this Best Buy. Got a Nintendo 64 from there back in '98.
