Vet clinic coming to Pike District in North Bethesda

A former office supply retail space that has been home to pop up Halloween stores in the Pike District is getting a new, longer-term tenant. Once a Staples, the 8000 SF storefront at 11503 Rockville Pike is currently being converted into a veterinary clinic. The shopping center it is in is owned by Saul Centers, which plans to eventually demolish it for a new mixed-use development.

Staples has closed its White Flint location at 11503 Rockville Pike. The shopping center's other tenant, Casual Male XL, remains open - for now. Saul Centers, Inc., owner of the retail center, plans to demolish the building for a mixed-use development. A sign is directing customers to the Staples at 1531 Rockville Pike. The building itself actually looks new and modern; it would have been a good space to put an upscale restaurant, or large retailer. Oh, well.

Casual Male XL is still open
