The restaurant is conveniently located in Beltway Plaza Mall at 6098 Greenbelt Rd. and will be owned and operated by a local ownership team with vast experience in the industry. The restaurant further strengthens the brand’s growing footprint throughout the DMV region, joining nearby locations in markets including College Park, Laurel, and Bowie.
“We’re excited to officially open our doors in Greenbelt and introduce the community to everything that makes Bubbakoo’s different,” said a representative from the local ownership team. “We’ve seen the excitement surrounding the brand throughout Maryland already, and we’re looking forward to becoming part of the Greenbelt community and creating a go-to spot for guests to enjoy with friends and family.”

Guests visiting the Greenbelt location can also enjoy a lineup of new limited-time offerings designed to highlight bold, craveable flavors across the menu.
