Kentlands Business: Gym Opens, Popcorn Shop Closes

As one gym leaves the Kentlands, another opens, according to a report by The Town Courier.

Red Zone Fitness, has opened beneath Salon Red at 224 Main Street, Suite 100. 

"The gym is relatively small but well equipped, and is designed for use only by a client with a personal trainer," The Town Courier reported. "The owner is Alex Modaressi, son of Salon Red owner Morty Modaressi."

Clients of the fitness center can work directly with Modaressi or bring in their own personal trainer, according to the report.

“We would allow two customers and [their] two trainers in here at once, max,” Modaressi told The Town Courier.

While Red Zone Fitness celebrated its opening, another Kentlands business closed its doors.

Popkorn Mama, a gourmet popcorn store that opened over the summer on Market Street West, officially closed its doors as of Oct. 28, The Town Courier reported.

The business' website features the following note thanking it's patrons.

“Thank you to everyone who supported our store and product. We have decided to close our store. If you are interested in opening a gourmet popcorn store of your own please contact us at 240.750.3544. Please forward all inquiries to popkornmama@gmail.com. Have a safe and happy Holiday Season.”
