Fresh Food Chain to Open in Gaithersburg

By Allie Aylward

To celebrate the opening of its newest location at 177 Kentlands Blvd. in Gaithersburg, Zoës Kitchen plans to give away prizes and promotions, including, for one lucky patron, free Zoës food for a year.

Guests can enter the contest on the restaurant’s Facebook page from Sept. 4 through Sept. 18, when Zoës will open and choose a winner.

Customers can also use the Zoës mobile app to place orders online, and receive goodies and deals after the contest.

Zoës Kitchen is a fresh, casual dining chain with over 100 locations nationwide, and this will mark its fifth in Maryland. The new location on Kentlands Boulevard will feature a large dining room and an outdoor deck seating area.

Zoës specializes in serving nutritious, made-from-scratch cuisine free of both preservatives and additives. Their menu focuses on lean proteins and fresh produce, as well as many vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options that customers may eat in, order online, or order as takeout.

Janet K., who dined at Zoës’ Annapolis location, commented on the restaurant’s eclectic fare on Yelp, writing that she was “shocked when told that the dipping sauce for [her] steak wrap was made with yogurt.”

Christine C. said “the food was fresh, healthy and there were lots of things this vegetarian could eat from the main menu — it was a nice change to the rest of mainstream.”
