Indecisive eaters of Franconia, this one’s for you. Wonder foodhall, the dining phenomenon that invites visitors to have a side of pizza with their burgers and a taco chaser if they’re so inclined, is opening a new location in the neighborhood, reports local media outlet FFXNow.

The rapidly-expanding chain has filed paperwork with Fairfax County for a restaurant to be located at  7001F Manchester Boulevard. Wonder is taking over the 4,403 square foot space that previously housed Genghis Grill. A precise opening date is not presently available, however Wonder intends to have the Franconia storefront up and running before the end of the year.

Although the concept has had an incredibly busy year already, the foodhall may still be unfamiliar to many diners. Wonder employs a unique approach to fast-casual food service. The eatery gathers several concepts founded by high-profile partners under one roof. Guests then select items from as many restaurants as they like; the food is made-to-order and all contained on one tab.

While Wonder often prioritizes takeout and delivery, the paperwork filed for the upcoming Festival at Manchester Lakes shopping center storefront shows that this location will offer dine-in services as well as take-away.
