Buffalo Wild Wings GO is now open at 3231 Spartan Rd in Olney. The scaled-down Buffalo Wild Wings concept focuses primarily on takeout and delivery.

The Olney location has taken over the space that was previously home to Three Points Cycles, which closed at the end of May 2024. Buffalo Wild Wings signed on for the Olney location in early 2025.

The Olney restaurant is the fourth Buffalo Wild Wings GO to open in Montgomery County. The Gaithersburg location, which opened in August 2025, was the first of the GO concepts to open in the county. Additional BWW GO locations have opened in the Crossroads at Kensington shopping center at 10619 Connecticut Ave and Burtonsville Village Center at 15500B Old Columbia Pike. A fifth location is planned for Bethesda.

Vienna, VA coffee shop Caffè Amouri announced that founder Michael Amouri has died peacefully at home.

According to FFXnow, Amouri died this past weekend, more than three years after he was diagnosed with lung cancer. The outlet reported an outpouring of tributes from customers, current and former employees, friends and local leaders, who remembered Amouri for his dedication to the Vienna community.

“It is with great sadness and gratitude that we share with you that Michael Amouri passed away peacefully at home,” Caffè Amouri said. “Michael loved every bit of life and was a tireless promoter of community and loved Vienna dearly. We will miss him with all our hearts.”

Amouri opened Caffè Amouri on Church Street in Vienna in 2010 as an independent coffeehouse and artisan roastery. The business was founded around the principles of quality, community and sustainability, with an emphasis on creating a gathering place for the local community.

Amouri was also active in the community outside of the coffee shop, including as a longtime youth sports coach and Vienna Business Association board member, according to FFXnow.

In 2018, the business expanded its educational focus with The Caffè Amouri Experience, designed to make coffee education accessible to both industry professionals and consumers interested in learning more about coffee.

The restaurant concluded its announcement with a phrase it said Amouri often used: “PEACE.”
