Bobby Furniture closing in Gaithersburg

 

2025 has been a bad year for some furniture stores in Montgomery County. One of the biggest regional names, Marlo Furniture, closed its Rockville showroom. Now Bobby Furniture has announced it will be closing its store at 317 Muddy Branch Road in Gaithersburg. A closing sale is underway at all three of its Montgomery County locations, including the two that aren't closing, in Montgomery Village and Germantown. However, the company is not specifying the percentage you'll be saving over the regular price, so you may want to call ahead if you have a specific piece of furniture in mind, to inquire about the price and avoid making a long trip that ends in disappointment.

Criminals strike twice at Maserati dealership in Montgomery County

 

Montgomery County police are investigating two incidents at Criswell Maserati at 19570-A Amaranth Drive in Germantown. At 5:00 AM on October 28, 2025, two male suspects trespassed on the dealership property, and attempted to steal two cars. They were unsuccessful and fled.

New 7-Eleven store opens in Rockville

Rockville has a brand new 7-Eleven store, complete with gas station. It is at 700 Gaither Road, in the King Farm community. Given the massive expansion of Dunkin' Donuts in Montgomery County in recent years, I never thought I would be typing the following words, but Dunkin' Donuts closed its location here at the Shell gas station. This is very close to the 7-Eleven store and gas station at MD 355 and Redland Road in Derwood, so it will be interesting to see how that plays out.
