Joe & the Juice opening Wildwood Shopping Center location

Joe & the Juice, the popular juice and coffee shop that already has a Bethesda Row location, will expand to the Wildwood Shopping Center this year. They will be located in a 1900 SF space between Sanctuary Interior Design and Irresistibles. The new store will open this summer, property owner Federal Realty announced yesterday.

“Since we opened our first store in Bethesda two years ago, our regular customers have asked us to come to Wildwood Shopping Center - and now we finally heard their call," Joe & the Juice's Valdemar Halbye said Thursday. "We can’t wait to open up a flagship location with our new expanded menu that includes omelettes and other breakfast items in addition to freshly made juice, coffee and sandwiches," he added.

The Wildwood Shopping Center, as I previously reported, will also add Bethesda Bagels and Flower Child this year. An addition was added, which will offer a new common area with lounge chairs for warmer weather, and 42 new parking spaces. “The combination of new tenants and our recent upgrades further creates a place where our cherished community is encouraged to gather, shop and dine," Federal Realty's Director of Asset Management Kari Glinski said yesterday.

    That place sucks. Stupid concept. Wildwood is finished. Put a fork in it. Hate what's been done to it.

    Wait a minute. I knew about Flower Child (let's count the days till that closes) but must have forgotten about Bethesda Bagel. Holy crap! Where are they putting the cars? On the roof? No thanks!

    Bethesda Bagels and Joe & the Juice are both great additions. However, my entire life I have always cringed to drive into the Wildwood shopping center because the parking is insane. Even the parking out back can be bad. And then you add the people illegally parking on the ends of rows making it impossible to drive down the lots...No THANKS.

      7:06 - my family and I have been shopping at Wildwood Center since the beginning. Not so terribly long ago it was fine but in recent years it has become insane as you say. You are right on the money. I was a customer of that CVS for at least 25 years and recently moved all my scripts to another location. It is going to be absolute chaos when these new restaurants and the medical building expansion next door gets underway. No thank you is right.

    Interesting...you seem to think it's ok for Dyer to call someone a name, but it's not ok to say name-calling is childish.

    I'm not trying to get a rise out of him (ewww) I'm trying to get him to stop the incessant name-calling.

    7:25 - Yogi Berra did make sense with his unique take on life. It's too crowded now and I predict, yes, fewer will go there because of the parking. There's no other issue than that. Spruce up the place, bring in nice stores, fine. But it isn't Westbard which Robert loves. Not enough parking for what they're doing or adding.

    The landlord here is just plain greedy. The parking was already a mess, and adding more stores will make it worse. I'll be avoiding it.

    Another is the Cabin John mall by Seven Locks and Tuckerman. They took a big chunk of parking lot from the front and put in more stores there instead. Now that place is a parking mess too. There's good parking in the back, but it's difficult to get to the stores from there.

    3D Manaco closes at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda

    Robert Dyer: "Don't you find that not only discriminatory, but strange and suspicious? Why would Kojo not want to hear from all voices in Montgomery County, instead of the same stew of characters parroting the MoCo cartel development agenda?"

    Robert Dyer: "Kojo welcomes him [Dan Reed] with open arms on his program. Surely he can welcome a pioneer of hyperlocal news and longtime civic activist - and proven skilled debater - onto his program. Or does he just want to hear one side of the story from MR. Reed and Bethesda Magazine, the relentless positivity about our inept Council and failed agenda?"
