Aspen Hill Shopping Center — Local services in Aspen Hill

This shopping center used to be very good about keeping cars from idling in the fire lane. Aspen Hill Shopping Center no longer cares about the fire lane, so people use this "absolutely no parking or standing" area as curbside parking and standing, usually blocking handicapped access points.

So after having to unload an ACTUAL handicapped man across 10 feet of asphalt (we were blocked from pulling up to the curb), then up and over a high curb while two twenty-something snots just sat there watching, blocking a handicapped access point mindlessly, I will no longer patronize the businesses at this shopping center until they resume policing the fire lane to keep it clear.

On the other end of this center, walking from the parking area to Giant Food is like playing Frogger for real.

I want to make special note of Silver Fountain Restaurant which is well known for its dim sum. The carts pushed around with Dim Sum on Saturday and Sundays. The dim sum may be a highlight but the food and the lunch buffets during the week are excellent. So if you want to order and your friend wants the buffet you're all set. By the way there's a lot of gas stations around this Shopping Center some are what I call no-names. Companies you never heard of or thought about but apparently have gas stations and they're very reasonable making the lead stations like Esso or Gulf, which actually are not the names of stations near there, keep...

Leatherface has everything you need plus more. Everything from Giant food at the North end to Chipotle at the back door. And CVS hair coloring GameStop from bank Panera tropical smoothie Cafe Jerry's subs and Pizza the Wingstop in between plus more there's a nail place and Xfinity store and a T-Mobile store and even more that I failed to mention like the Japanese Sakura place they have really good food plus more like McDonald's there have been 24 hours there in the parking lot. The only thing negative about this place is its age and they've done the management has done a lot to mitigate that so they keep trying so drive safely and wear a mask...
