Montgomery County’s first Just Salad is coming soon to Towne Plaza in Rockville.

Leasing documents from KLNB confirm that the fast-casual restaurant will open at 12242 Rockville Pike, next to the recently opened Wonder. Just Salad will join a growing restaurant lineup at the shopping center that also includes Tatte and California Fish Grill.

Maryland Newsletters previously reported that Just Salad had pulled a building permit for a fitout at the location, with the permit now issued. The Rockville restaurant will continue Just Salad’s expansion across the DMV. The chain currently has three locations in Washington, D.C., with a fourth coming soon to Friendship Heights, just outside of Montgomery County.

Founded in 2006, Just Salad has grown to more than 100 locations across seven states. Despite its name, the menu extends beyond salads and includes grain bowls, wraps, soups, smoothies and other options, with a variety of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free choices.

The company focuses on healthy, affordable and climate-conscious meals and is also known for its reusable bowl program, which it describes as the largest restaurant reusable program of its kind. Just Salad has collaborated with several organizations and chefs over the years, including Sesame Workshop on a kids menu, Michelin-starred chef Amanda Cohen and chef Marc Forgione on specialty recipes.

An opening date for the Rockville location has not yet been announced.

Brookeville Beer Farm, located at 20315 Georgia Ave., recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of serving locally brewed beer, homemade pizza, and more in Brookeville.

The brewery celebrated the milestone on July 28, with Brookeville Beer Farm thanking customers the following day for helping commemorate the occasion. “We had so much fun yesterday celebrating 10 years of Brookeville Beer Farm! Thank you to everyone who came out and celebrated with us. Cheers to many more years and memories!” the brewery wrote.

Brookeville Beer Farm’s roots actually date back a couple of years before the brewery opened. The farm began taking shape in spring 2014 in the fields behind the brewhouse, starting with its first hop yard along with red raspberries and shiitake mushrooms. In 2015, the operation expanded with a second, larger hop yard, blueberry and blackberry bushes, and honey-producing beehives.

Today, the property includes planters used to grow tomatoes, mint, peppers, spices, and other vegetables that are incorporated into the Beer Farm’s kitchen. The farm also produces its own honey. The brewery operates a 10-barrel brewing system with four bright tanks and eight fermenters. Spent grain from the brewing process is composted and used to enrich the farmland.

Brookeville Beer Farm describes its goal as carrying on the history and hospitality of Brookeville by creating a community gathering place where guests can enjoy beer, homemade pizzas, and time with friends and neighbors. Its taproom features wood beams, a handcrafted oak bar, indoor seating, and a pizza oven, while the outdoor area includes picnic-table seating. The Beer Farm is also family- and dog-friendly.

Brookeville Beer Farm is open Monday through Thursday from noon-9pm, Friday from noon-10pm, Saturday from 11am-10pm, and Sunday from 11am-9pm.
