Bethesda Avenue CHOPT closed this afternoon for "power issues"

CHOPT Creative Salad Co. at 4766 Bethesda Avenue is temporarily closed for the afternoon. The restaurant says the closure is due to "power issues." Some residents of downtown Bethesda have reported their lights flickering over the last hour. If you still need a salad, Sweetgreen is down the street, and CHOPT's other Bethesda location at the Wildwood Shopping Center is open. CHOPT's neighbor, Paul Bakery, permanently closed yesterday for unrelated reasons.

Chopt opening Cabin John Shopping Center location

Chopt is coming to Potomac. The Starbucks of salads will open a new location at the Cabin John Shopping Center this summer.  This is one of seven new locations the New York-based fast casual restaurant chain plans to open in 2022. The Cabin John location will offer outdoor seating.

Chopt is "now chopping" across from Bethesda Row. The salad eatery has opened in the ground floor of the Flats at Bethesda Avenue luxury apartments, on the side of the building that faces the Capital Crescent Trail.

Along with the regular menu, they also have a set of Destination Salads that change every 30 days. So you have only a few more days to try out the featured Destination Salads for this month.

The Chopt menu also features salad sandwiches.

Fast-casual salad chain Chopt has installed the permanent lighted sign, and it was lit this weekend, facing runners and cyclists passing it on the Capital Crescent Trail. Here's the first look inside the new restaurant, which joins Paul Bakery, Pottery Barn and Silver on the ground floor of the Flats at Bethesda Avenue luxury apartments.
