"I'm excited that Gong Cha, one of the world’s largest bubble tea chains founded in 2006 with more than 1,500 locations worldwide, is making its D.C.-area debut in Rockville: the first store at 1800 Rockville Pike is scheduled to open at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 31 with traditional lion dancers and specials for customers. The made-to-order bubble tea company has at least three more area locations planned through the summer, including sites on New York Avenue in D.C. and Terrapin Row in College Park, and the brand is also rapidly expanding stateside, notably in Austin." - Tierney Plumb
