Blaze Pizza, Lobster ME and Jamaican Mi Crazy (although the latter has claimed its closure is temporary) have all gone dark in the last two weeks. At the same time, the mall reported its biggest sales year in history in 2015.

Chloe's NY Style Deli closes at Westfield Montgomery Mall (Photo)
Not the least bit surprised. Despite the name, Chloe's did not transport us to a bustling 44th street in the springtime. Would like to see a Pret replace it.
ReplyDeleteNothing compelling there. Food court is really improved over the last few years but there are some dogs.
ReplyDeleteSlowly the reality is dawning on Dyer.

Is this a fatality of the Purple Line as well?
ReplyDeleteWe are staying away from MM for some time. The crime at and around the mall has increased to the point that we dont feel safe.
ReplyDeleteNot the best photograph. You can't tell where the counter ends and the floor begins.
ReplyDelete@ 5:29 AM - Overexposure. The whiteness is overwhelming (like Westbard, LOL) and results in loss of detail.
ReplyDeleteWhich in turn results in loss of perspective, causing the floor to merge with the counter, and the large glass enclosure to look like a toaster oven.
5:29: Where is your picture, Ansel Adams?
ReplyDeleteGod I hate you Dyer. Leave Bethesda! You aren't wanted here!! #DeadMall

ReplyDeleteIs Benny Greenberg running that food court?
ReplyDeleteFanboys. Loving the Dyer. #deadmall guy has been posting for an hour.
ReplyDeleteThis is simply false.
ReplyDeleteThis place made me poop 4 times in 1 day, I'm not surprised it's closing
ReplyDeleteLaughing at 6:50 AM's obsessive stalking.
ReplyDelete@6:07 - Nice Iceburn
ReplyDelete7:28 thinks that obsessive stalking is reading a blog each morning? OMG, then what is it you do? Psychotic stalking? If you're going to act like fanboy(s), get used to hearing it. Nine BS posts + 5:09's real one + Dyer's response to his SuperTroll.
ReplyDeleteSad.

ReplyDelete8:11: Uh, I reviewed Pi Pizzeria about a month ago. But by posting yet another spam link to a competing website, you remind us all again of how badly that site is failing. So badly, that it has to rely on spam URLs posted here on the leading Bethesda news outlet, and on government handouts, to get readers. Sad! The plug would have been pulled by now like Bethesda Now if it weren't for the mysterious angel investors.
Delete@ Dyer's 6:07- you have the emotional maturity of a 2 year old.
ReplyDeleteThey were paid to.
ReplyDeleteLeading Bethesda news outlet?! Hahahahahahahahaha! You're more delusional than your posts led me to believe.
ReplyDeleteDyer is established as the most trusted news source in Bethesda by far.
ReplyDelete@846 - Uh, get a life birdbrain
ReplyDelete9:49, 9:59 So envious. Day after day. You have to comment on him. Poor things, if you put your mind to it and worked hard, you too might have success in your life. Once you start concentrating on your own "game", you'll be less consumed by and jealous of others' successes.

ReplyDelete10:35: Boy, with the furious spamming of URLs to that other site, the latest analytics must really be bad. Clearly a failing venture, the second such competitor to be crushed by my site in the last few years. No winning site would have to stoop to spamming their articles in my comments section, in hopes of peeling off even a few readers from Bethesda's leading website. Sad.
DeleteOh, by the way, I'm the guy who broke the Modern Market story in the beginning.
Maybe you can get another taxpayer -funded subsidy for your cratering site before the afternoon is over. You're just too low energy. Super low-energy, like Hans.
What's been the bigger business failure, Bethesda Beat or Bethesda jazz club?
ReplyDeleteGuess who owns both disasters?
5:29: Montgomery mall is not an unsafe place generally. Try Wheaton or lake forest if you want to talk about crime...
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. Lakeforest. It's been 5 years since I've been there, and it wasn't great then. Only place that had something I needed in stock.
ReplyDeleteGuess it hasn't gotten better?
I think I know what happened here. Montgomery Mall did their food court renovation which expanded it greatly, and they were desperate to fill up those new spaces before it opened. They offered sweet lease deals that all expired around now. That's why we see all these places abruptly moving out -- they couldn't make it at market-rate rents.
ReplyDeleteI think next to go will be "Burger Venue" (formerly Kraze Burger) and that huge Naples pizza restaurant. I go to the food court on a regular basis during lunchtime, and you can pretty much predict who is going to go under soon -- if they don't have a line at the peak of lunchtime, they're on their way out. Compare that to Sarku Japan, Panda Express, Cava, or McD's, all which have a line of at least 10 people at all times during lunch.
@11:19am Lakeforest is the next mall to go. I went there as a kid 20 years ago and it was great. Now many stores have left, and there's not much remaining. It'll be torn down or fully redeveloped in the next few years, I'm sure of it.

2:41: A struggling digital venture, and now a scandal! Sounds like they'd better start spending the time they use posting URLs in my comments section on addressing those issues.

ReplyDeleteYep, sounds like Benny G is running the place.

ReplyDeleteCreepy stalker guy is creepy.
ReplyDeleteCreepy as in insane.
I recommend 10:21am catch a show this weekend to relax...jazz maybe?
ReplyDelete10:21 AM - Your homophobia has no place here.
ReplyDeleteBethesda's Gays don't want Dyer, either.
ReplyDelete3:59PM Why do you say that?
ReplyDeleteHave you been knocking on doors again? What do you say is the subject of your poll?
Which question do you ask first- "Are you gay?" or "Do you support Dyer?"
