They have posted on Twitter and Facebook feeds a few times in the last few 
weeks about reduced hours due to staffing shortages.Might be best practice to 
check their social media before heading over.Hopefully only a temporary 
issue.See:

NEWS FLASH: Due to a staffing shortage, our #SilverSpring shop will not open 
until 3pm today.We're working as hard as we can to get everyone back to work 
after our Covid scare!We apologize for any inconvenience.… See More<<

Just stopped to get ice cream.  They seem closed today.  Fingers crossed this 
is temporary!
