31 Businesses Patch Readers Want To Open In Reston

RESTON, VA — Is there a certain kind of business that is missing in Reston? A type of restaurant you can't find in town? An activity that you have to travel miles away for? Or is there another specialty store you could use?

Reston Patch recently asked our Facebook followers which businesses they want to see open in town.

Multiple commenters wanted to see more locally owned shops. "No chains," wrote Hedi Traup. "Gourmet sandwich shop with FRESH BREAD, healthy options like fresh pastas, salads, and good coffee. Think Cali-fresh menu. I'll be your best customer if this is in North Point."

A couple others said they'd like to see a Tropical Smoothie in their neighborhoods, and others were excited by the news of Wegmans moving into town.

"Wegmans!! Get that store built ASAP! I need my Wegmans premade foods," wrote Lynn Alexander Lewandowski.

Here's a list of your suggestions, in no particular order.
