Thai Restaurant, Fitness Studio To Join Chevy Chase Lake Community

CHEVY CHASE, MD — A fitness studio and a Thai restaurant will be joining the Chevy Chase Lake neighborhood on Connecticut Avenue in Montgomery County.

StretchLab and Dok Khao Thai Eatery will be part of a community that is already home to The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Chevy Chase; The Barrett; and The Claude. StretchLab is scheduled to open this fall, while Dok Khao Thai Eatery is expected to open next summer.

Chevy Chase Lake, located on about six acres, has about 100,000 square feet of retail space. Amazon Fresh, The Charmery, Truist Bank and UnCorked are already open. CVS Pharmacy and açaí bowl and smoothie shop Playa Bowls will be opening this fall.

“The Chevy Chase Lake neighborhood is bustling with energy,” said Mike Henehan, president of Bozzuto Development Co.

Chevy Chase Lake, developed by Bozzuto and The Chevy Chase Land Company, is a new mixed-use community along Connecticut Avenue. The community will be directly connected to the new Purple Line, linking the site one stop to the east to Silver Spring and one stop to the west to downtown Bethesda.

In June, Chevy Chase Lake started move-ins for The Claude, the community’s newest residence. The Town Square, a 27,000-square-foot promenade in the center of the neighborhood, also opened earlier this summer.

“We have loved seeing residents, friends and families from the community utilize The Town Square for connecting and events, and we are very excited to add additional retail offerings to the mix, with Dok Khao, a beloved DMV favorite dining experience, as well as StretchLab, an innovative wellness-focused concept that we know will benefit the community,” Henehan said.

StretchLab will offer customized assisted stretch sessions in a group setting, leading to a wider range of motion and flexibility. StretchLab's Chevy Chase Lake location will be almost 1,700 square feet and located at 8525 Chevy Chase Lake Terrace, Suite 304.

Dok Khao Thai Eatery will feature a menu inspired by some of Bangkok's traditional offerings. The Chevy Chase Lake restaurant will be Dok Khao Thai Eatery’s third location in the Washington, D.C., area. The restaurant also has location in Woodbridge, Virginia, and Columbia, Maryland. The Chevy Chase Lake location will have more than 3,700 square feet, located at 8551 Connecticut Avenue.

Chevy Chase Lake also recently unveiled “Streetcar” by Tom Fruin, a colorful acrylic and steel public art piece in The Town Square.

This piece is inspired by a classic trolley and a nod to Chevy Chase Lake as one of the first streetcar suburbs and the end of the historic Connecticut Avenue streetcar, which stopped operations in 1937. It also pays homage to Chevy Chase Lake’s future direct access to the Purple Line, which is currently under construction.
