Flavor Hive, a food truck known for its viral $10 halal meat-filled chip bag concept, is opening its first brick-and-mortar location in Rockville, Maryland this week.

Why it matters

The opening of Flavor Hive's first permanent location in Maryland represents the continued growth and popularity of the unique halal meat-filled chip bag concept that has taken social media by storm. It also highlights the ongoing shift towards more diverse and innovative food options in the Rockville area.

The details

Flavor Hive, co-founded by Shihan Chowdhury and Amgd Gende, will open its Rockville location on Thursday, February 10th at 11 a.m. in the Montrose Shopping Center. The new shop takes over the commercial space previously occupied by the now-closed kosher street food restaurant Shouk. Flavor Hive's signature offering is its "walk chip bag" where customers can bring in any sized chip bag and have it filled with their choice of halal meats, toppings, and sauces for just $10.
