In the weeks since we wrote about Trader Joe’s being the likely successor to Dawson’s Market, an official announcement has yet to be made — but other news outlets have followed with reports of their own, and construction has been moving forward at Rockville Town Square. The addition of Trader Joe’s will be a game-changer for the long-struggling Square, which has suffered since its inception from the lack of a compelling anchor store. As of this week, the former Dawson’s space has been completely gutted and a Trader Joe’s-affiliated construction company is poised to begin building out the new interior. Projected opening: spring or summer 2025.
