The Cheesecake Factory is closing in the Friendship Heights area of Chevy Chase, Washington, DC. "After extensive review and analysis, the company made the difficult decision to discontinue operation of our restaurant in Chevy Chase," Cheesecake Factory, Inc. Senior Director of Public Relations and Global Branding Alethea Rowe told Fox 5 producer Allison Papson in a statement. "Our last day of service will be January 24, 2026." This will be a devastating loss for nearby residents, as well as for Chevy Chase Pavilion. Everything around that mall is being redeveloped as residential housing, and this will only increase the pressure. Fortunately, we still have The Cheesecake Factory at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda.

No. It will most definitely not be “devastating” for nearby residents. lol.
Not for snobs, no, but for the majority of people who know and love The Cheesecake Factory.
Maybe "a significant setback in local dining opportunities" for (some of) those people. It's not as though their homes collapsed, or were condemned. That would be "devastating."
When was the last time a diner actually ordered and ate CHEESECAKE while so many other better desserts are available?
2:32: Fair enough.
3:11: I actually tend to order their sundaes myself.
This and Sephora closing in Friendship Heights isn’t great.
Reminds me of Sinatra's question to Brando in "Guys and Dolls": "Offhand, would you say that Mindy's sells more cheesecake, or more strudel?" (It's on YouTube.)
A real shame just as effective weight-loss drugs are gaining popularity.
It's main feature is ridiculously- sized portions and menu - doesn't take a snob to know this carters to the basest of instincts.
That's probably *why* they're going under - people finally getting control of their rapacious appetites don't need ridiculous portions of mid food.
6:50: If the food was bad, the portion size would be irrelevant. It's popular because the food is good.
The Cheesecake Factory at Harborplace in Baltimore is closing the same day. Looks like they’re cutting multiple underperforming locations. Friendship Heights has been on the downswing for years with Mazza being the only true new development.
Friendship Heights is definitely on a decline.
