‘Wonder’ food hall plans grand opening next week in Potomac Yard

New York City-based food hall Wonder is opening a new location next month at the Potomac Yard Center.

The new food hall opening at 3615 Richmond Hwy plans to offer food from more than two dozen restaurant concepts. It will be the fourth Wonder in Northern Virginia, joining others in Arlington and Fairfax County as the company continues to expand throughout the D.C. region.

A ribbon cutting and grand opening for the 3,400-square-foot hall will held at 2 p.m. Friday, Jan. 9.

The food hall chain, which was founded in 2018 by billionaire entrepreneur and former Walmart executive Marc Lore, acquired Grubhub last year and offers dine-in service, pickup and delivery.

Offerings include dishes by celebrity chefs Bobby Flay, Marcus Samuelsson, and Michael Symon, and a wide-ranging menu with burgers, pizza, wings, barbecue, and fried chicken, as well as Thai, Mexican, Japanese, Chinese and Greek fare.

The new location will offer a promotion to add “protein such as grilled chicken or marinated tofu to any Royal Greens salad at no additional cost” through Jan. 19, according to a Wonder press release. The promotion will begin at other D.C.-area locations starting Jan. 5.

Wonder intends to donate $1 from every meal sold during its first week in Potomac Yard to the Capital Area Food Bank.

The new food hall will be open daily from 10:30 a.m.-11:30 p.m.
