Terrain Cafe space is being gutted at Bethesda Row

The interior of the space vacated by Terrain Cafe at 7728 Woodmont Avenue at Bethesda Row last year is now being demolished. Terrain Cafe closed in December 2023. How Anthropologie & Co. intends to use the space going forward has not been publicly announced. The timing suggests it could become more retail display space for the holiday shopping season, but that is merely speculation.

Allbirds closes at Bethesda Row

Allbirds has closed at 4852 Bethesda Avenue at Bethesda Row. The interior has been cleared out, and paper has been placed over the windows. We can partly blame Montgomery County's moribund economy for this closure, as the footwear chain had said earlier this year it would close 10 to 15 "underperforming stores" out of its 60 nationwide locations. However, the company is facing financial difficulties that led to that decision, and the replacement of its CEO.
