Corley said he hopes it will open July 5. On opening day, McAlister’s Deli will off the first 100 guests free tea for a year, he said.
“We’re in our eleventh year there, going on 12, and the lease is up,” Corley said about the Chevy Chase closing . “We’re excited to have a new location, we think will be a great area. We loved being in Chevy Chase but we’ve kind of outgrown our space. The parking situation was a little bit of a struggle for us.”
