Rockville getting Cooper’s Hawk Winery

By Jeff Clabaugh

WASHINGTON — Cooper’s Hawk Winery, a restaurant chain with in-house wineries and tasting rooms, will open its fourth Washington area location in Rockville at developer Foulger-Pratt’s Research Row at 1401 Research Blvd.

Brokerage firm KLNB represented Foulger-Pratt. CBRE represented the tenant.

The Woodridge, Illinois-based company, which produces its own wines with grapes it sources from around the world, has other area locations in Annapolis, Ashburn and Reston.

Its locations also include markets selling wine accessories, gifts and its own gourmet food line.

Its restaurants are located in the mid-Atlantic, Midwest and Florida.

Cooper’s Hawk, founded in 2005, describes its menu as contemporary American.

Cooper’s Hawk will occupy about 12,400 square feet at Research Row. It joins other tenants including Life Fitness soon, and Chick-fil-A, whose Research Row location includes its second drive-through in Maryland.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
