A reader reports:
“Saw Chrome Industries and Frank and Oak (said Tuesday is their last day) Ed. Note: Their website list this store as a “Washington DC Pop-Up” are also closing at The Shay. They seem to be hemorrhaging tenants over there.”
Washingtonian reported:
“Chrome Industries’ DC shop is soon shutting its doors, marking the third retail closure for high-end development The Shay since September.
The 8th Street, Northwest, store will remain open through November and December and close in the new year.”
Chrome and Frank and Oak will follow other closures at The Shay including Steven Alan, Bucketfeet, and Kit & Ace. Before we bury retail at The Shay completely, it’s worth noting that Argent will be replacing Kit & Ace and Violet Boutique will be popping up in the Steven Alan space. Updates on the rest of the retail spaces as more is known.

Back in May we learned about Insomnia Cookies’ plans for two more D.C. locations in Georgetown and H Street, NE. Insomnia Cookies opened up in Adams Morgan back in November of 2016.
Looks like Georgetown’s opening is imminent:
From an email:
“We at Violet Boutique are excited to announce that we are moving from our current Georgetown location at the end of November, and are headed to the Shaw neighborhood. You may remember that we relocated from Adams Morgan to Georgetown in 2016, and we learned so much by being able to expand our square footage, and by testing the waters in a retail-heavy neighborhood.
Our last day in Georgetown (3289 M Street, NW) will be Sunday, November 26!
1924 8th Street, NW
And in December – we’re back. We will be opening a temporary pop-up shop from 12/1 – 12/31 in The Shay (1924 8th St NW – the former Steven Alan space), and the tentative opening date for our new location (a few doors down from the pop-up space) is March 2018. (more…)

From a press release:
“After a year and a half of serving up falooda and noodles inside Union Market, the Toli Moli team of Simone Jacobson, Jocelyn Law-Yone, and Eric Wang prepares to open a cultural hub celebrating the spice diaspora: Toli Moli Burmese Bodega.
“As citizens of the world, our collective identities revolve around art, food, community, and ideas,” says Jacobson. “We love to bring people together and the bodega space is an opportunity to share with DC how we grew up eating all over the map. It’s the very definition of ‘toli moli’, a little of this and a little of that. We’re most excited about being a place that uplifts other Asian American, woman-owned, and immigrant-run businesses. This is an exciting opportunity for us to grow and bring our ‘falooda nation’ family along with us.” (more…)
