From Toro Mata:
“Dear Friends:
After more than ten years, Toro Mata will be closing our 18th Street shop on January 24th, 2016.
We will forever be grateful for the many memorable experiences and treasured friendships that have come our way. We are especially thankful for the consistent support we received from our Adams Morgan neighbors over the years.
After we take a short break this winter, you will still be able to find us in DC at various markets and “pop up” events in the near term. We are also exploring new permanent locations for the future. Please continue to follow us on Facebook for the latest details.
We encourage anyone with a gift certificate or store credit to redeem in the next three weeks, but we will also honor these credits at any location in the future.
We are extending our Year End Clearance Sale until Sunday the 24th of January. Please stop in and enjoy the savings!
Warmest Regards,
Hector Zarate and Jim Nixon
TORO MATA”

Our friends from ATTIC DC (online resource for finding furniture from local stores and the same folks who accurately reported Millennium closing on U Street) share the sad news:
“Next up is Trohv in Takoma [232 Carroll Street, NW]. They’re planning to close for good in mid to late January. They’re starting to offer discounts etc. Their original Baltimore store will remain open.”
Update: Official announcement from Trohv:
“Hi Friends and Neighbors!
We hope the holidays have treated you and your families well. As we enter the New Year, we have news about our DC shop. We’ll keep it short and sweet. We’ve loved being a part of the DC and Takoma communities. We’ve met 1000s of great customers and supported more than 150 local artists during our nearly five years being open in Takoma. To the Takoma community specifically, thank you for welcoming us, appreciating the store, and letting us participate in various ways in your amazing community. Despite how much we’ve loved being part of the Takoma/DC community, the DC shop hasn’t met our hopes and we’ve decided to close the DC shop in order to focus on our Baltimore location.
Our DC shop’s last day for business will be on or around January 17, 2016. Beginning on January 4, we will have a store-wide closing sale where we’ll mark down items ranging from 20-80%. We will be selling pretty much everything, including store fixtures, displays, lighting, and various materials for a wide-range of potential projects. The one exception for sales, as usual, will be on artist-made consignment items. We’ll be offering discounts on those items as agreed to by the various artists. All sales will be final. (more…)

A reader reports:
“Modell’s Sporting Goods just bought the City Sports lease for Gallery Place [715 Seventh Street, NW]. Apparently they plan to reopen the store as a Modell’s sometime in the next few weeks.”

RIP Home Food Store, one of my favorite names for a bodega in the District. Updates on The Bottle Shop when they get closer to opening. Hopefully they can fill the void from De Vinos closing last February.
1361 Connecticut Ave, NW
Thanks to a reader for sending word on Saturday night. Hello Cupcake posted the news to their facebook page last Wednesday. Back in 2014 they closed their Baracks Row location.
301 H Street, NE
A new craft beer store, Craft Beer Cellar, is coming to the new building at 3rd and H St, NE [“25 Luxury Boutique Condo Units”].
I imagine it’ll have a slightly different feel than the liquor store it’ll be replacing…:
1006 E Street, NW
On the tail of the Dupont location opening in October a reader reports:
“Drybar Penn Quarter opens Dec. 17”
“Drybar’s refreshingly simple concept: ‘No cuts. No color. Just blowouts’ has captivated a legion of loyal clients across the country.”
RIP City Sports.
Ed. Note: I only saw this spectacular deal at the 19th Street location not in Chinatown…
