Several new businesses have opened across Prince George’s County, with more soon to come.
The grand opening of Prince George’s first Roaming Rooster will be held at Glenarden’s Woodmore Towne Center on Dec. 5 at noon, where the first 100 customers will receive a free chicken sandwich.
The restaurant, started by three Ethiopian immigrants, began as a food truck in 2015 and celebrated the opening of their first brick-and-mortar in 2018.
“We are excited to open our doors at Woodmore Towne Center and share our passion for great food and exceptional service with this vibrant community,” said a spokesperson for Roaming Rooster.
The nearly 2,500-square-foot location will employ an estimated team of 40 employees.
“This grand opening represents more than just another location; it’s a celebration of our journey and the people who make it all possible—our loyal customers, dedicated team members, and the strong collaboration with Urban Edge Properties,” the spokesperson said. “We are grateful for the support of the community, and everyone involved in making this expansion a reality.”
The Pit Stop BBQ has officially opened in Upper Marlboro on Brown Station Road, and will be open on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., or until sold out. The restaurant promises smooth R&B alongside their signature ribs, brisket, and smoked salmon.
“All of the smoked meats are marinated for hours before they’re cooked on authentic outdoor grills,” read a social media post to promote the barbecue joint. “In addition to the standard menu, they also offer reasonably priced catering pan options so that you can conveniently pick up delicious food before your event. It’ll be a new staple for your family once you give it a try!”
