Royal Farms coming to Frederick

Mightydog · Aug 25, 2018

Just drove to Hagerstown the other day up route 40. Much to my surprise the Sheetz that was at the intersection of 40/66 was totally demolished along with the gas storage tanks being dug up. No signs, no notice. No idea what’s going in there.....maybe another Royal Farms?

Probably rebuilding it

Is it just me or, is it taking entirely too long for the new Rofo on Buckeystown Pike to re-open?

I wants my shicken. I wants my Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, mon. And I don't wants to have to drive all the way down to Urbana or all the way up to 7th Street to get it. The Buckeystown Pike location is < 2 miles from my house. C'mon Rofo! What if I stop-by and nail a shingle down on your roof if that'll help? I'm willing to work for free at this point.

My office is back behind the Texas road house in the business park and I have to go down 270 and out 70 towards Baltimore. It is the only gas station that is convient. I have been having to go to sheetz if I don’t remember to grab gas before going to work.

They’ve had signs up for the two other Royal Farms on Monocacy Blvd. for a while now but still nothing started.

There is the one on Monocacy and East Patrick that has signs up, but no progress has been made.

I believe the intention was to demolish it and rebuild it how they wanted, due to the space constraints of the building and the lay out of the existing infrastructure.

I figured they would have to bulldoze that old place. It was way too small but, I thought the new one would be completely built and open for biz by now. Seems like it's taking longer than it usually does, although, the deluge of rain we've had in Frederick hasn't been exactly ideal for construction projects.

IT does appear to be taking forever for it to reopen, but I would believe the amount of rain has been the real issue and also they probably needed to get approval to remove the old tanks. But then again on the RoFo website they don't have it listed, but Google says that location is permanently closed. Who knows what is really going on with that RoFo location.

I've heard there's one coming to Greenbelt, too.

I noticed this past weekend that they've broken ground for the Royal Farms at Monacacy and Gas House. There's also a Now Hiring sign there too. I'm hoping they get it built and opened in good time. By this Friday would be great but I'm maybe being a touch optimistic.

Ha! I noticed that too. It looks like they timed it to open roughly about the time the new bridge opens over the Monocacy. That was initially scheduled for April, 2019. That’s made it a real pain getting into downtown. It will be nice to have it open; also, the new interchange with Monocacy and 15 is open now too.

Still closer than Urbana or Rosemont for me, when I need some chicken!

That is a shame about 75/80. The last owners were really doing a good job, racers really liked the way things were being run. Something truly unique disappears only to be replaced by yet another mixed use development. Just what we need.

I thought I'd resurrect this thread from the dead one more time because cumulatively you guys seem to know everything there is to know.
So I see online that there is some kind of soft opening for the Monocacy Royal farms tomorrow 5/16. Does that mean that the store is open and they just haven't had the Grand OPENING yet or is tomorrow just a sort of practice day?

I NEED chicken so any info is appreciated :yummy:

Yes, they will be open. They do that to see if everything works properly, before the grand opening gala.

My wife works in the building right next door to the new RF. That will be nice for quick dinners. Love their chicken.

We’re just down the road, pass there all the time. We tried the chicken once at another one and weren’t too impressed but folks said it might have been an off hour. We’ll give the new place a try after it’s been open a bit.

I got a full tank of diesel there this morning so they are definitely up and running.
