Rue21 closes in Wheaton

Rue21 has closed at Westfield's Wheaton Plaza mall. A glowing logo sign can still be seen inside the space, which is now only occupied by three cash registers, and empty displays that have been slid over against the back wall. Rue21 closed its store here in 2017, when the chain first filed for bankruptcy, only to return to Wheaton Plaza in 2022 after the brand found its sales boosted during the pandemic. The renaissance didn't last long, as Rue21 has filed for bankruptcy again, and is closing all of its stores nationwide.

Club Capri coming soon to Wheaton

Club Capri has leased the 11222 Grandview Avenue in the Wheaton Triangle area. The sports bar and grill is anticipated to open this summer. Initial operating hours are expected to be 11:00 AM to 2:00 AM Sunday through Thursday, and 11:00 AM to 3:00 AM Fridays and Saturdays. This 7000-square-foot space was formerly home to Rumba Y Carbon. 

Is this merely an opening, or a triumphant return? There was a popular Italian restaurant called The Capri on Grandview Avenue for several decades during the golden age of Wheaton. From what I have heard, the owner of Club Capri is a member of the same family, so this establishment should be of interest to longtime residents as much as to newcomers seeking a sports bar.
