The new Town Square grocery isn't providing a specific timetable for its opening.
A new grocery store in Rockville Town Square may be opening a few months later than originally planned but “the wait will be worth it,” a spokeswoman for the store said. “Most importantly, we are concerned with taking the time necessary to make sure the store perfectly suits the needs and wants of the customers,” Becky Lakin, the recently named marketing director for Dawson’s Market, wrote in an email response to a question about the opening date. “We will be starting construction in a few weeks and are aiming to have construction completed this Summer.” The store isn’t being any more specific than that. After signing a lease for Town Square in September, Dawson’s Market owner Rick Hood said he expected a March or April opening date. …

The City Council supports the market's lease but is divided on whether its name should be on the Town Square Plaza pavilion.
Rockville City Council members who often disagree on big issues were unanimous on one this week: Monday’s announcement that a lease had been signed to bring Dawson’s Market to Rockville Town Square is a big win for the city. “It’s fantastic,” Mayor Phyllis Marcuccio said. “It’s been four years in the making—like a Cecil B. DeMille extravaganza.” Councilman Piotr Gajewski, who is opposing Marcuccio for mayor in the Nov. 8 city election, agreed that the lease was a long time in coming. The owners of Richmond, Va.-based Ellwood Thompson’s Local Market plan to open Dawson’s sometime in the spring, Federal Realty announced. “We’re thrilled,” Gajewski said. “It seems like it’s a very good fit for Rockville. It seems like it’s very community-…

Federal Realty: The store will open in spring and will be called Dawson's Market.
The long wait for a grocery store in Rockville Town Square should be over in early spring. Federal Realty Investment Trust announced Monday that it had finalized a lease with the owners of Richmond, Va.-based Ellwood Thompson’s Local Market to bring an organic market to the commercial and residential district in Rockville Town Center. The new market will be named Dawson’s Market. The name is a nod to the family that owned a farm with a homestead in what is now the Hungerford neighborhood of Rockville. Another family home, the Beall-Dawson House, is on West Montgomery Avenue near Town Center. It is the home of the Montgomery County Historical Society. "We look forward to partnering with local vendors, farmers and artisans, and working with …

With signs approved and an appeal of the proposed store's beer and wine license in the offing, lease negotiations continue.
The owner of a Richmond, VA-based grocery store that wants to open in Rockville Town Square said this week that things are moving forward in spite of an appeal of the store’s beer and wine license. “The lease is contingent on that [license],” said Rick Hood, owner of Ellwood Thompson’s Local Market, in an interview with Rockville Patch. “We’ve got the license and we’re going forward.” The Montgomery County Circuit Court is expected to hear the appeal in the fall. The appeal, by Tiger Beer Wine & Deli, has proven to be a bit of a speed bump in a projected opening date. “We’ve just been looking at the beer and wine situation,” said Hood, who was in town for Monday’s Rockville City Council meeting. “The discussion took a couple weeks. So […
