New Businesses Coming to Southern Maryland

Not sure why but the location for anything in Wildwood seems to have the touch of death on it and only a matter of time until it closes. A number of nice restaurants has come and gone there and from rumor Paradise and Outback not doing extremely well either.

You have to look a little deeper. Perkins was good, but then he did not pay his franchise fees. When he lost the franchise, he reopened as "Alice's", which was his own concept and menu. It was worse than Perkins. Then the family that owns Lenny's and used to on the sleep in bought it for the daughter to run. She opened it up as the Italian place the failed, and then rebranded it DBMcmilliams for more bar business. However they were closed all the time, and much like Lenny's, the food was marginal. Keep in mind, this is the same family that also just let the Sleep Inn go into bankruptcy...it was bought, and rebranded a red roof in.

actually the food had moments of being good, but the place just sucked. It had the warmth and charm of a dumpster. Which appears is where most of the furnishings came from.

I need to stop and check on their hours and get some sausage. Have heard that it's really good.

It seemed really nice when I stopped in and the sausage were delicious. It was the first day and they were only able to do cash but said within 2 weeks they would be set up to do cards.

That is false about the walmart I have the Jarboe land listed for sale.

Question for those who seem to always be in the know. I am chalking this up to my dad having a senior moment but he claims to have been talking to one of the county commissioners (this person is no longer on the board of county commissioners). He said he was told that Wal-mart purchased the land that is across from the old "Wood's Stand" in Charlotte Hall. The empty field that is next to the Cord's Cabinetry shopping center. Does any one know if there is any truth to it? He just will not drop it and is driving me nuts over it, He is telling any one that will listen. I really just want to yell "Will you shut up about it already" but that would be terribly disrespectful.

A lot of people like Aldis, but I wasn't impressed with the one I visited. Consumer Reports rated it pretty poorly in terms of meat, bakery and produce quality.

Isn't that the most important? It is for me. :shrug:

Canned and boxed food is why mostly everyone goes there. However, they do not take coupons so they will not be getting my business.

I was thinking the same thing! The one I went to everything was like and off brand youd never heard of before. So essentially a big dollar general that sells only food. OH JOY! Just what we need around here!
