Buffalo Wild Wings GO, Marathon Deli and Mezeh Mediterranean Grill are planning to move into the Crossroads of Kensington, a new retail development at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue and Plyers Mill Road, according to the website of property owners H&R Retail.
Crossroads of Kensington is at 10619 Connecticut Ave. and near Safeway at 10541 Connecticut Ave., and the Kensington Shopping Center at 10506 Connecticut Ave.
Buffalo Wild Wings, a casual American restaurant chain known for its chicken wings and myriad sauces, will open a fast-casual version of its full-service restaurant. The “GO” eateries focus on to-go and delivery meals. There are two full-service Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants in the county, one in Gaithersburg and the other in Rockville.
Marathon Deli is a Greek eatery based in College Park. The eatery operates a deli and catering service offering pita wraps, platters, rice bowls, phyllo-crust pies, pizza and salads, the restaurant’s website states. The Crossroads eatery will be the restaurant’s second location.
Mezeh is a Mediterranean fast-casual restaurant chain offering wraps and grain and salad bowls. The chain has three other county locations in Aspen Hill, Germantown and Gaithersburg.
The MoCoShow first reported on the new tenants of the Crossroads of Kensington. Opening dates for the eateries have not yet been announced.
