Domino's Pizza opening on St. Elmo Avenue in Bethesda (Photos)

Greenhill Capital has once again brought a national brand to 4817 St. Elmo Avenue, a storefront that belonged to Quiznos before that toasted sandwich chain ran into financial difficulty. Domino's posted Coming Soon signage in the windows there on Friday.

Which raises an interesting question. Is the existing downtown Bethesda Domino's at 4957 Elm Street going to move over to St. Elmo? The two locations are only 5 blocks apart. Stay tuned.

An interim small business, GreenWICH, lasted barely 3 months in the space last year, so a solid and successful brand like Domino's should be a far more stable tenant.

Excellent addition by Greenhill. Woodmont Triangle residents are excited to have Domino's Pizza coming to the neighborhood.

This blog desperately needs a sarcasm tag.

This is two really good points. Dyer probavly has a good explanation for both, though.

Guys, its a sign.

If you lived in the triangle, you agree that bringing domino's close can only be a good thing.

Bethesdans reject Dominos' war on women's reproductive rights.

Why was that comment deleted? They asked a question about dyer and Greenhill and what was the other point?

I do like dominos coming to the triangle and hopefully providing some retail stability.

5:32: You left out the childish comment that was made, which was the reason it was deleted.

Domino's is an American success story and their founder was a huge philanthropist. That's great but their product is anything but. That pizza isn't good and that's a fact. Their a chain and thus can afford the rent. Mellow Mushroom is much better if we want a chain pizza joint. Da Marco and Mia are making pizza. By the way, how does Corner Slice stay open? That's crap too.

Would like to see some Dyer reviews once they start cranking out the pizza pies!

What was the childish comment? I was following the thread and didn't see anything remotely inappropriate?

I'm curious also. Seems "childish" is also violation of commenting policy also?

I believe the deleted comment reference dyer's post coming after another provider. And dyer's own assertion that anytime one comes after another it is plagiarism.

Diehard Dyer fans here. They know all his articles, including the comments! Dyer has the most passionate readership in local news.

Greenhill fan-boy! They better bring in a national brand because those are the only businesses that can afford Greenhill's inflated rents and terrible leases! I don't think it's a coincidence that the majority of the vacant buildings in the Woodmont Triangle have the Greenhill plaques on them!
