Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1960-01-28

The sprawling Wheaton
Plaza (abOve) will stage a
partial opening February 5
when its two biggest stores,
Woodward and LOthrOp's
and Montgomery Wards
(bOttOm right, top left, re-
spectively) throw their doors
open to the public. The 60
store complex and its 5000
car parking lot were photo
graphed by Sentinel phOtOg-
rapher Hugh Gillespie from
a plane pilOted by Jim Ian
ming, flying instructor at
Davis AirfieId, LaytonsviIle.
The panel at upper right
shows a portion of the Plaza
long shoppers mall with its
planter boxes and fOrm-fit
plastic chairs. All stores
open onto the mall. Picture
at left is a view of the
East end of the mall as it
joins WOOdies.' Pictures
along the bottom of the
page, viewed from left to
right, are ~ a shot of busy

shaped truck tunnel that en-
tiers the West end of the
Plaza, serves all stores from
below, and disgOrges traffic
at the East end of the Plaza;
(3) a view of the main shop

gallery for many stores, and

Wheaton Plaza Almost Ready

Wheaton Plaza, biggest single commercial under
taking to hit Montgomery County-and Washington
suburbia, for that matter-looks like World War II
defense plant opening day for its two biggest stores
looms late next week.
Woodward Lothrop Department Store and
Montgomery Ward are racing to nail down every loose
end for their February grand opening. The Plaza
is on Veirs Mill I'd and University blvd. West.
WOrlxmen in every craft are laboring around the
clock while sacclad saleswOmen work by their Sides
unpacking merchandise.
The Plaza'S 5O0O-car parking lot resembles a
staging area for amphibous assault: trucks rumble
In from faraway states laden with everything from
bobby pins to cupboard motors
Pnkerton detectives and others are everywhere
enforcing security as tough that at the Atomic
Energy Commission. You've got to have badge If
it's red you may enter and leave by just one entrance
etc.
Montgomery Wards two main sales floors could
be mistaken for gigantic football fields as patoons of
carpenters, plumbers, stock clerks and BUYERS mill
about.
Knots of executives huddle like quarterbacks in
the melee. The Woodworking task force works by a
whistle. When it blows they go to work If it blows
again. they stop. Lunch from either paper bag or
from bank of whirring, canling vending machines
10 kinds of sandwiches hot and cold beverages)
lasts 30 minutes.
In the brick shells to be occupied by more than so
smaller stores, lining mall connecting Woodies and
Wards, workers move at a slower pace protected
from the biting winds by thousands of yards of pas-
tic sheeting These stores have target opening date
in March,
Already located on the Plaza and doing business
Tor about one year are Giant Food Store and Hot
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1960-01-28

Shoppe The main Plaza complex, Giant Hot Shoppe,
Western Auto garage and bowling alley, among
others, occupy total of 80 acres.
All of the statistics about the venture are stagger-
ing. The buildings, for instance, have million
square feet of floor space while just Woodies and
Wards between them share almost six acres of floor
space. The parking lot, largest in Montgomery Coun-
ty, could accommodate several air strips
Motorists won't be bothered by trucks they are
routed into and out of the Plaza through tunnel.
And shoppers won't be bothered by cars as they go
from store to store because they can use fowerined
mall serving all the stores.
This mall has escalator, shutting customers
between lower level and the main shopping level
People whose feet out under the Store-to-sore
trek may take their in of freeformed plastic
chairs on the mall and listen to soothing music piped
from protective canopies.
This week. all the Plaza's cash registers showed
staring faces with double sets of zeroes But when
the muslin shrouds are removed from merchandise
and the Plazas work force of nearly 1000 first well
comes the public those cash registers will start play
ing tune that eventually will mean millions in taxes
for Montgomery County.
The Plaza is situated at the intersection of three
OF the CountyS busiest highways: Georgia ave. Veirs
Mill I'd. and University blvd.
County traffic estimates late last year noted
4OOOO cars going North and South on Georgia ave.
every day and as many on Veirs Mill rd county
spokesman said possibly 10000 cars day utilized the
short section of University blvd West that forms the
Plaza's Northern boundary
Thus a traffic circulation approaching 100000
cars day drones by the Plaza - happy prospect
for new store owners. Entrance and exit at the
Plaza from University blvd. will be improved soon
