GAITHERSBURG, MD — True Food Kitchen celebrated its Gaithersburg opening a little differently than most businesses.

Instead of a ribbon cutting, the healthy eatery planted herbs outside for their grand opening in April.

“We are delighted to see True Foods open in Gaithersburg,” said Marilyn Balcombe, GGCC President / CEO. “They are a welcome addition to the great restaurants, retail and entertainment in the Rio.”
