Planet Fitness plans new locations in Takoma Park, Wheaton

One of the nation’s largest Planet Fitness franchisees plans to open two new facilities in Montgomery County later this year as it continues to bulk up the budget fitness chain’s presence. Affiliates of Ohana Growth Partners have inked 10-year leases for spaces in Takoma Park and Wheaton. Both of the spaces are remainders of former Shoppers markets that discount grocer Lidl sought to shed after it opened new markets in those areas. Ohana’s leases, for just under 29,000 square feet apiece, are at 6881 New Hampshire Ave. and 2201 Randolph Road, respectively.
