Zero-Waste Service Taking on Amazon Is Taking Over D.C. With Record Growth

The Rounds — your local bulk shop meets modern day “milkman” — is expanding service to Georgetown, Woodley Park and Brookland.

With more neighborhood fulfillment centers and its fleet of e-bikes, The Rounds is building the future of sustainable city living by delivering your everyday essentials, like household, personal care and pantry products, in refillable containers with no cardboard or plastic packaging waste. The startup also announced additional Neighborhood Pickup spots in Arlington and Anacostia.

Designed as a local, sustainable alternative to Amazon, The Rounds partners with District favorites like Compass Coffee and Seylou Bakery to keep your home stocked sustainably and on autopilot.

“I used to use Amazon for everything. Now I use The Rounds as much as humanly possible throughout my apartment to avoid the package room altogether. I never have to even think about these things anymore.” — Ing S., The Rounds Member

The Rounds has rapidly expanded across The District.

“Our mission is to make everyday sustainable choices effortless, for everyone,” says co-founder and CEO Alexander Torrey. The green startup has no plan of slowing down anytime soon!

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
