New Superfruit Shop Heading to Westview Promenade

Frederick, MD · July 29, 2026

Gray skies are lingering over the Monocacy this morning, but there's plenty of fresh retail news to chew on over breakfast.

The Lead

Playa Bowls is expanding its footprint in the area, securing a storefront at Westview Promenade for its newest Frederick County location. Franchise owner Gene Sherman signed a lease for a space within the outdoor lifestyle center at Route 85 and Crestwood Boulevard, joining popular spots in Clemson Corner and an upcoming location in Urbana. The shop will feature its signature menu of fresh-blended açai, pitaya, and green superfruit bowls, smoothies, and cold brews, with doors slated to open this coming December. The addition marks another retail win for the heavily trafficked corridor as wellness-focused dining continues to gain traction locally. Construction is scheduled to kick off in the coming weeks ahead of the winter debut.
