Former convenience store space being cleared out at Gallery Bethesda (Photos)


The ground floor space at the Gallery Bethesda apartment tower at 4800 Auburn Avenue that was home to a convenience store for a decade is now being emptied out. Aria Beer Wine & Deli closed this past January, and was the anchor retail tenant when the building opened in 2014. The store had been ordered closed and secured by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the State of Maryland. Business entity Prosperity Partners filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on October 2, 2023. Reminders of some of the most popular features of the store can still be seen inside, such as the signage for "gourmet sandwich," and the dry cleaning area.

I used to go to Aria for a bowl of bibimbop or a turkey sandwich. The staff were always friendly. It also seemed the residents of the building found it convenient to have that place downstairs for food and dry cleaning. I guess that's business.
