Below is a list of businesses that are coming soon to Gaithersburg’s Kentlands:
Arepa King is coming to 109A Market Street, taking over the space most recently occupied by Potomac Cookie Co. Arepa King specializes in authentic Venezuelan cuisine made fresh daily using fresh ingredients. Every arepa is prepared to order, and the corn-based arepas are naturally gluten-free. For first-time visitors, he recommends the restaurant’s signature King Arepa, also known as the traditional Arepa de Pabellón. The restaurant’s best-selling item is filled with shredded beef, black beans, sweet plantains and cheese. Another customer favorite is the tequeños, fresh cheese sticks wrapped in dough.
Catlands, Montgomery County’s first adoptable cat lounge, is coming to 375 Main St., taking over the space that was previously home to the short-lived Baby Bar, which operated in 2023. After Baby Bar closed, signage for Colour Couture Salon was installed at the location, though the business ultimately never opened. According to Catlands, the boutique concept will combine a cat lounge with an adoption experience, inviting guests to “play, lounge, adopt” while interacting with adoptable cats in a relaxed setting. The business is currently targeting opening by the end of 2026…
