Rockville construction update: Floyd's 99 Barbershop at The Galvan (Photos)

"The original rock and roll barbershop" looks just about ready to go at Galvan at Twinbrook, JBG's new development at 1801 Chapman Avenue (but which fronts directly onto Rockville Pike).

Floyd's 99 Barbershop has rock paraphernalia covering its walls, but probably won't have plastic wrap covering its barber stools much longer. Traditionalists will be glad to know they still have a classic barber pole out front.

Floyd's 99 Barbershop coming to Rockville

Floyd's 99 Barbershop is the latest business to sign on at the JBG Companies' Galvan development near Twinbrook Metro in Rockville. The retail portion of the project has been on a tear leasing up recently, with Pie 360, Taipei Tokyo and Dunkin' Donuts coming aboard in the last couple of weeks.

Offering a modern twist on the small-town barbershops of simpler times, Floyd's 99 is a national chain that also has a location in JBG's Downtown Crown development in Gaithersburg.

Other retailers who have leased space at Galvan include Smashburger, Capriotti's, and anchors Safeway and Ethan Allen. The 356 apartment residential portion of the project is expected to open late this year.

“We welcome these new arrivals to Galvan as well as to the greater Rockville Community as a whole,” said Anthony Greenberg, a principal at The JBG Companies, in a statement. “We believe these merchants and the apartments above them will be successful and attractive, and offer excellent options to nearby workers and others in this busy corridor.”
