Dominos opens on St. Elmo Ave. in Bethesda (Photos)

Dominos quietly opened at 4817 St. Elmo Avenue yesterday in downtown Bethesda's Woodmont Triangle neighborhood. A sign out front is featuring something I've never ordered from Domino's - salads. I guess they're worth a try. A large Extravaganzza pizza is my recommended Domino's order.

The sign is up at the future Domino's Pizza at 4817 St. Elmo Avenue in downtown Bethesda. I'll have an Extravaganzza original crust or deep dish.

Domino's requests construction permit for new Bethesda location

The new Domino's Pizza location at 4817 St. Elmo Avenue has requested a construction permit from Montgomery County for the interior buildout of the store. Construction of the 1403 SF space is expected to cost $150,000. It was most recently home to GreenWICH.

Greenhill Capital has once again brought a national brand to 4817 St. Elmo Avenue, a storefront that belonged to Quiznos before that toasted sandwich chain ran into financial difficulty. Domino's posted Coming Soon signage in the windows there on Friday.

Which raises an interesting question. Is the existing downtown Bethesda Domino's at 4957 Elm Street going to move over to St. Elmo? The two locations are only 5 blocks apart. Stay tuned.

An interim small business, GreenWICH, lasted barely 3 months in the space last year, so a solid and successful brand like Domino's should be a far more stable tenant.
