Morley installs signage at Bethesda Row, Molly Maid paints Bethesda pink (Photos)

A couple of new businesses in town are making evident progress toward opening.

The biggest news is Morley, the new boutique opening on Bethesda Lane August 1. They're converting the space just vacated by Ginger Boutique, and installed storefront signage yesterday. Work continues on the interior. The website wasn't live yet as of last night when I tried it, so stay tuned.

For those with fashion retail experience, you'll be interested to know Morley is hiring staff, as well.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, a very different business is prepping its new headquarters.

Molly Maid is turning the old plumbing house at 4901 Rugby Avenue into its new Bethesda-Northwest DC office. They're currently painting the house pink.

Molly Maid is also hiring. They're holding a job fair at the pink house tomorrow (Saturday), July 18, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
