It will be good for me with my picky kids, they can eat whatever they want and I can eat adult-like food. They are opening one in Rockville June 1.

I guess it works if you want a dish from a place where you can't get delivery from, or if you have people wanting things for that would otherwise need to be ordered from different venues.


We have several of them in NYC. I don't really understand how it goes over here because there are so many good local takeout options where you don't get pre-cooked, reheated meals.

It’s prepped and par-cooked, and then finished onsite, not cooked and reheated

It's frozen food run through a Turbochef. It's basically a step above microwaving. Another ensh*tification example brought to you VC/PE.

Yep. Private Equity running wild. I refuse to even try them. The one by me is always empty, I can't imagine they would be able to pay rent without major backing. I fully expect them to pull a Foxtrot where they just fire all their employees on the spot and completely abandon the market within hours after wildly overexpanding.

Ugh, I suspect you're right. I'll skip this stupid trend.

Agree! And Falls Church City lost a longtime and well-loved hardware store, Brown’s Hardware, that will be replaced by this crappy tech concoction.

I’m the OP and I clearly don’t see a reason to patronize Wonder.

But none of the Wonder owners nor the building owners nor the govt of Falls Church City is the reason why Brown’s Hardware closed and opened up that space for Wonder.

Why are they opening up so many?
