Sur la Table to close in Chevy Chase, Tabandeh holds liquidation sale at Mazza Gallerie

Sur la Table will be the latest business closure in Friendship Heights. The store at 5211 Wisconsin Avenue NW will permanently close in August or September, I am told. You would think Sur la Table would have gotten a boost from people dining more at home, but instead, the company has filed for bankruptcy.

Nearby, Tabandeh Jewelry is holding a liquidation sale at Mazza Gallerie. A sign posted declares, "Everything must go!"

Sur la Table coming to Pike & Rose

Just a few months after high-end kitchen retailer Williams Sonoma opened at Federal Realty's Bethesda Row, equally-upscale kitchenware and cooking retailer Sur la Table is leasing a 5,824 SF space at the firm's Pike & Rose development. While Bethesda Row had Le Creuset, this is the first such retailer to come onboard at Pike & Rose, giving residents of the property's PerSei and Pallas apartments a place to stock their high-end kitchens.

Sur la Table started with one store in Seattle in 1972, and now has over 100 nationwide.
