After a delay of almost six months, the Wheaton Costco is open for business.

And I'll still shop often at Giant and Safeway, because Costco has a limited product line. Surprisingly, there weren't a lot of … more ›

Choice Wine & Beer opened Tuesday.
Silver Spring resident Kirti Patel already has a business presence in Wheaton: He owns the Quiznos across from the Giant at Westfield Wheaton.
