Architessa is the latest business to leave Montgomery County for the greener business pastures of Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia. Its Bethesda showroom at 6807 Wisconsin Avenue, next to Bray and Scarff, is now closed. Architessa will open its new showroom at 2212 Wisconsin Avenue NW in the District in January 2022. The architectural ceramic retailer isn't downsizing - - besides the new D.C. location, it has existing showrooms in Rockville, Northern Virginia and Baltimore, and another coming soon in Richmond.

ReplyDeleteYou should do a series on all the businesses that fled the dying Mazza Gallerie and Chevy Chase Pavilion for the greener pastures of Montgomery County - specifically to Friendship Heights and Bethesda Row.
Perhaps one reason they are moving is their poor marketing and signage efforts. I had no idea that they even existed, and have walk past that space hundreds of times.

5:26: I don't think tenants at Mazza Gallerie had much choice - they're all being given the boot by the property owner, who is going to demolish the mall. Plenty of other businesses on the Maryland side actually failed, and simply closed or left the area entirely, and that is reflective of the real problems and moribund economy in Montgomery County more than greedy mall owners.
