Seven years after it was first announced, Rockville’s new Wegmans is finally scheduled to open in the second half of 2025. The 80,000-square-foot grocery store will anchor the sprawling Twinbook Quarter development on Rockville Pike, which will eventually encompass 18 acres of retail, residential and office space. Wegmans will have its own two-level underground parking garage, which hopefully will be enough to corral all those hungry fans who have been waiting for this store to open since 2018. Also: This week, Gov. Wes Moore announced his support for a proposal that would allow Maryland grocery stores to sell beer and wine for the first time since 1978. Will the alcohol ban be lifted before Wegmans opens? Stay tuned.
