UPDATE: Haagen-Dazs is open again at the mall

Haagen-Dazs has closed at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda for renovations. UPDATE: It initially appeared the store had closed pemanently the day this picture was taken, but the store owner informed me the closure was only temporary for the remodeling. Haagen-Dazs is now open again.

When's the Mall itself closing? Geez! Even Wheaton Plaza doesn't have this many closures. Unreal!

That's 22 in all. Robert Dyer reports on the trees but not on the forest.

You forgot MET on movie theater level. That place was simply awful.

Haagen Dazs is remodeling and will reopen

2:08: If that is true, why is there no sign informing customers that they are remodeling?

What's the deal with Sears? I heard a rumor that Westfield bought it for 72 million. Any truth to this rumor?

8:54: I did follow up on that - I have contacted both companies, and haven't gotten a reply yet.

The list @ 7:51 was just shops and restaurants that have closed in 2017. MET closed in 2016.

they did have a sign up saying they were closing for remodeling on the counter when they were still open.

The mall probably won't let the franchise owner put a sign up. They usually require these expensive graphics that are not worth it if you are going to be closed for a very short period of time. Just my guess.

But I am 100% positive that they are closed for remodel

7:51 here - I made an error in the list - Sheepskin and Alpaca Too was one store, not two. But with the closure of bebe, the count remains the same.

I'm Haagen-Dazs owner. The store was closed for remodeling. We opened again June 16th. Stop by and try our new delicious flavors and see how nice the store is now.
I'd like to send you a pic of the new and beautiful Haagen Dazs in Westfield Montgomery Mall.
Mr. Robert next time please double check your information. The sign on the barricade "We will be back" come up next day!
Thanks
I
