1914 14th Street, NW

Back in November we learned the Trader Joe’s coming to 14th and U Street, NW was aiming for a February opening. Looks like they’re making good progress and have now applied for a liquor license with hours listed as Sunday through Saturday 8 am – 10 pm. Two buck chuck here we come!!

        Well, fortunately I can’t stand going in a Trader Joe’s so it probably won’t happen. ;)

Hard liquor like Costco, or only beer and wine?

  I’ve only seen liquor at TJ’s in California. Would be amazing if they could make that happen here…

  There are different classes of licenses. I’d say this is highly unlikely.

  Probably not. Most likely a “grocery” license like Safeway, Giant and HT have. Hard liquor licenses have a lot of restrictions on them, as well as proximity limitations – at least 400 ft from the nearest one. Since Batch 13 has a spirits license, I doubt this would make the cut.

  Most likely beer and wine like the Georgetown location. Pretty great selection btw
