Gaithersburg

16567 S Frederick Rd, Gaithersburg, MD (1967-1980s): "Opened with the center in 1967. Became Basics Food Warehouse in the late 1980s. The shopping center was renovated in the early 1990s. The original Grand Union building was demolished and replaced with a Food Lion. Food Lion became Bottom Dollar when that concept was rolled out. It was back to Food Lion when Bottom Dollar was put out to pasture. The store was divested to Weis as a part of the Ahold-Delhaize merger. Weis is operating there now using the Food Lion interior, fixtures, layout, etc." - Michael Hale
