Gaithersburg Mayor & Council to vote on Royal Farms, Starbucks for Watkins Mill area

Gaithersburg's Mayor and Council are expected to vote on the proposed Royal Farms convenience store/gas station and a new Starbucks for the Spectrum development by the future Watkins Mill Road-Interstate 270 interchange at their January 6, 2020 meeting. If approved, this would be the first Royal Farms in Montgomery County.

City staff confirm that the developer has modified the rear elevations for both buildings, based on feedback at the previous public hearing on the project. The city's Planning Commission last month recommended approval of the Royal Farms and Starbucks, and staff is also recommending approval of the project.
