A reader reports:
“Riccardi Clothier (1300 Connecticut) appears to be going out of business. It looks like a nice store, so I’m sad for them. But I will not miss the TERRIFYING moving advertising mannequin they have out front. Seriously, this thing scares the heck out of me, and I see it at least twice a day. I’ve never understood it, since it doesn’t seem in line with the pleasant professional style of the store.”
Ed. Note: Riccardi Clothier
From a press release:
“It’s official- Glover Park Hardware has a new home in the neighborhood! After a two month search, local hardware store Glover Park Hardware is pleased to announce they’ve found a new storefront at 2233 Wisconsin Ave NW.
The new Glover Park Hardware boasts 7,500 sq. ft. of retail space and is located just a few doors away from their previous location at 2251 Wisconsin Ave NW. Customers can expect to see movement in the store as soon as March, with an anticipated re-opening date of April 2015. Store owners Gina Schaefer and Marc Friedman are thrilled to stay in the neighborhood where it first opened in 2005. “We love our Glover Park Community and we were committed to reopening in this neighborhood,” says Schaefer.”

“a candy store (I think the same one as in Chinatown Ed. Note: similar looking but not the same folks) appears to be coming to Union Station, in the same space where the Papyrus used to be. (Papyrus recently moved to a different space in another part of Union Station.)”
Sugar Factory’s facebook page says:

Best known for its signature Couture Pops, iconic superstars including Britney Spears, Drake, Nicole Scherzinger, Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria, Carmen Electra and Rupert Grint are just a few of the celebrities who have either endorsed or have been spotted with the sparkly lollipops.

Bicycle Space in on a tear! Now they’re taking over the sweet newly renovated former Slaviya/Cities spot on 18th Street.
From Bicycle Space:
“BicycleSPACE announces the spring opening of an unimaginably large shop in Adams Morgan, an expansion progressing in tandem with the company’s upcoming shops in Mt. Vernon Triangle and Ivy City.
The Adams Morgan shop is located at 2424 18th St NW in a 6,400-square-foot storefront. At this size, the shop is the literal definition of BicycleSPACE, now enlarged to create a more opportune environment for bicyclists.
With this much physical space, BicycleSPACE will exponentially increase its ability to serve the greater Washington, D.C. market. It will also strengthen the D.C. economy by creating 40 new jobs, bringing its total workforce to 70+ employees.
BicycleSPACE anticipates an April move into the Adams Morgan property. In May, the company expects to open its 4,100-square-foot shop at 440 K St NW. BicycleSPACE anticipates a June opening at 1512 Okie St NE in the Hecht Warehouse District of Ivy City
BicycleSPACE is poised to become the largest bicycle retailer in D.C.
Adams Morgan, 2424 18th St NW
Projected Opening: April 2015
Downtown, 440 K St NW
Projected Opening: May 2015
Ivy City, 1512 Okie St NE

Papa Beard’s website says:
“Known as the baker of the “World’s Best Cream Puffs,” Beard Papa’s has been a household name since 1999 when we opened the first cream puff shop in Osaka, Japan pumping out this unique French choux dough puffs to happy people everywhere. Since that time, our mission has remained unchanged – to pursue uncompromising quality in everything we do. By remaining steadfast in our quality commitment, Beard Papa’s has spawned a devout following of loyalists who will attest that once you taste our cream puffs, you will agree, they are like no other.”
You can see their products here. Coming to DC this Spring.
Also interesting to note this space is another froyo casualty…

A reader reports:
“I stopped by the new Planet Pet space on 14th Street this week and asked what their plan was. According to the woman I spoke with they were there for the long term and were going to occupy the entire building. The first floor will be the day care and retail. They have to do some renovation before the day care is ready. The second floor will be grooming. The top floor will be an apartment for the owner. She said the plan for the redevelopment of the property with the rear addition was no longer in play.”
