Amazon Books Opens First D.C. Brick and Mortar Location Today at 9am


3040 Wisconsin Ave, NW

From a press release:

“On Tuesday, March 13, Amazon Books will open in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC.

Amazon Books is all about discovery. We’ve applied over twenty years of experience as a customer-focused, online retailer to build a store that integrates the benefits of offline and online shopping and spurs discovery of great books, Amazon devices and customer favorites from Amazon.com.

Our stores are highly-curated:

because we are limited by physical space, we only carry books, devices, toys and games that our customers love. All of the products in our stores are selected by our team of curators and are either rated 4 stars and above, bestsellers in our stores or on Amazon.com, or new releases. Our curators consider books based on Amazon.com customer ratings, pre-orders, sales, and popularity on Goodreads; they look at Kindle reading behavior; and, of course, they apply their expert assessments.

To give you more information as you browse, we created features that showcase what customers are reading, how they’re reading and what they’re loving. One of our signature features is Page Turners, which highlights books (both fiction and nonfiction) that Kindle customers are reading in 3 days or less. All the books in our store are presented face out, so they can communicate their own essence. Under each face-out book is a review card with the Amazon.com customer rating and review – it’s like getting a personal recommendation from a fellow booklover.

Our device section gives customers the opportunity to test drive Amazon devices and accessories – including Echo and Smart Home accessories – while having Amazon Books associates on hand to answer questions.

In addition, Amazon Books in Georgetown will proudly serve Allegro coffee.

Store Hours & Café Hours:

Monday – Saturday: 9:00am – 9:00pm
Sunday: 10:00pm – 6:00pm”

The Potomac Roasting Company is stocked with excellent coffee to meet almost any palate. But that’s not the only good news. We now offer free shipping for orders over $35.

The Potomac Roasting Company is a local micro-roaster specializing in artisan coffee. We precision roast high-quality beans sourced from small farms in Latin America and Africa that are owned and operated by women. We will make sure that your coffee is roasted the way you want it and delivered fresh.

Our newest coffee comes from Mbozi, Tanzania. We secured a shipment just before this small batch of delicious beans sold out. In Swahili, Usawa means balance and Kahawa means coffee. The beans are grown on small farms that are part of a cooperative promoting gender equity and market access for women. This is a smooth and balanced coffee that is sure to please.

Join local sketch comedy legends (in our own minds) Brick Penguin for an evening of live, dark, rip-roaring sketch comedy. See D.C.’s longest-running sketch comedy group do what they do best, when they’re not performing across the country in places such as the terrifying Philadelphia, the gooey Chicago, the M&M Store-y New York City, and the crunchy Seattle.

Now, our last show may or may not have mentioned Taylor Swift, and we may have gotten into some trouble from confused Swifties who thought they scored a $15 ticket to a Taylor Swift concert. So, to apologize and clear up any confusion, we’ve decided to dedicate another show to her. We promise she might or might not appear this time.
