Peet's Coffee closes in Chevy Chase

Peet's Coffee has closed permanently at The Shops at Wisconsin Place in the Friendship Heights area of Chevy Chase. Workers were removing furniture and fixtures from the store yesterday. You may recall that the downtown Bethesda Peet's location was also a casualty of the coronavirus pandemic.

Peet's Coffee closes in Bethesda

Peet's Coffee has closed at 7629 Old Georgetown Road in downtown Bethesda. They were already closed temporarily due to the coronavirus pandemic, but yesterday, workmen removed the sign from the store and covered the windows.

The closure appears to be due to the moribund Montgomery County economy or the County's delay in reopening. There are no widespread Peet's closures taking place elsewhere in the country. In fact, a Google search found no reports of individual Peet's stores closing in America in recent months.

It's a big loss for residents in the Bethesda Place apartments. Up until recently, they had a grocery store and coffee shop in the ground level of the complex; now both have closed.

Peet's Coffee to open in Friendship Heights

Peet's Coffee is coming to Friendship Heights in Chevy Chase. They will be located in a 2093 SF space next to MAC at 5330 Western Avenue in the Shops at Wisconsin Place. Peet's will have outdoor patio seating. The Shops at Wisconsin Place is also rumored to be the next home for Tabendeh, a jewelry store currently located across the street in Mazza Gallerie.

Aeropostale reopens; Smart Toys, Peet's Coffee close at Westfield Montgomery Mall (Photos)

The redesigned Aeropostale

The new and improved Aeropostale has opened at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. Will the cosmetic and product changes help the struggling chain stay afloat? We shall soon find out.

Smart Toys walled off
after closing last week

Meanwhile, in other mall news, Smart Toys has closed. I've also confirmed Peet's Coffee, which went dark late last week, has permanently closed. Signage and menus have been stripped from the kiosk, as Starbucks continues to dominate the coffee wars at the mall.

From air wars to coffee wars: There may be another victim in the high stakes coffee battle royale at Westfield Montgomery Mall. The Peet's Coffee kiosk was closed and dark yesterday during normal operating hours.

Unless they did like a couple of other kiosks did recently at the mall - close temporarily without leaving a note to tell customers what is going on - the Starbucks factor may have been too much to overcome for Peet's. Still to come at the mall: Nespresso.

Peet's Coffee & Tea opens at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda (Photos)

After a long delay, Peet's Coffee & Tea has opened at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. It is located near bebe and Talbots on Level 1, in the Sears wing of the mall.

While Peet's is a kiosk, it does have seating available, as well as spots to work on your laptop - which customers were already taking advantage of on Saturday.

Not only is the kiosk new, but they are also offering two new iced coffee drinks right now, Cold Brew and The Black Tie.

This is Peet's second Bethesda location, with the other being in downtown Bethesda at Old Georgetown Road and Woodmont Avenue. Peet's took over several locations of Caribou Coffee in the area last year, after both chains were controlled by the same ownership.

Construction has begun on the future Peet's Coffee & Tea at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. It replaces the already-closed Caribou Coffee, and will be a kiosk. The chain took over several Caribou locations in the area, including downtown Bethesda's.
Peet's will face well-established competition in the mall's Starbucks and Aroma coffee shops. It is located near The Art of Shaving, Talbots and Forever 21 on the lower level.
