Peapod Pickup to Replace Chevy Chase Lake Sunoco
The Peapod grocery pickup location will open in the late summer or early fall, along with a Giant gas station, a Giant Food spokesperson told Patch.
The site of the former Sunoco gas station at 8500 Connecticut Avenue in Chevy Chase Lake will become a Peapod grocery pickup location as well as a gas station run by Giant Food by late summer or early fall, Giant Food spokesperson Jamie Miller told Patch. Peapod is the home delivery arm of—and sister company to—Giant, Miller explained. While Peapod charges a service fee for home delivery of Giant groceries, there will be no service fee for the pickup of groceries from the grocery pickup location. Read more about the new pickup location in Bethesda Now's article of last week. Setting up a storefront at which Giant/Peapod customers may pick up their groceries is a relatively new idea. Two pickup locations were set up last month—in …

Box Bar Not Re-Opening After All
The Bethesda restaurant—which changed hands briefly earlier this year—was sold back to its previous owner, who says it will not be opened again.

And now, McCarther says that Roc Bar Live won't be opening, to The Box Bar & Grille's Facebook Page. Box Bar opened in November 2011, with "Box Babes" serving burgers, beer …
