HAS CHICKEN OUT CLOSED IN ROCKVILLE?

Chicken Out recently moved up Rockville Pike to College Plaza, taking over the old A&W Restaurant. But recently, the parking lot is empty, and no one appears to be inside when I drive past. Yesterday evening, I pulled in during their business hours, and saw no evidence the restaurant was open. But no sign is posted to tell potential customers what is going on.

If the restaurant has closed, hopefully a fast food chain that doesn't currently have a restaurant in Montgomery County will move in, and make use of that drive-thru (Chicken Out did not use the drive-thru, but it is still there).

Chicken Out, which closed further south on Rockville Pike earlier this summer, is opening a new restaurant in College Plaza.

Located on the Pike just north of Montgomery College, the space has previously been home to a KFC and an A&W Restaurant. The latter has been greatly missed by burger aficionados, as A&W has no other locations in our area.

Chicken Out on Rockville Pike has permanently closed. Yesterday, potential customers who pulled up as these photos were being taken were shocked to hear the news. "It's closed? When did this happen?"

Apparently, a new Chicken Out is opening in a few weeks at 15780 Shady Grove Road (which is not really Rockville, but Gaithersburg).

I prefer KFC for chicken, and Rockville is about to get a Chick-fil-A (see my post from a few days ago). But my favorite at Chicken Out was the Double Drumstick meal.
