Former Fuddruckers space available for lease in Silver Spring

Another attempt to market the vacant former Fuddruckers space at 819 Ellsworth Drive at Downtown Silver Spring is underway. Real estate firm KNLB has posted a for-lease sign on the storefront. Inside, the Fuddruckers interior remains untouched. A liquor license notice from the burger chain's scotched attempt to reopen here in 2024 remains in the window. Maybe Shake Shack or Steak 'n Shake will look into this prime spot. The latter has a new urban store model that could fit well here, and, of course, Shake Shack specializes in urban locations.
