Petite Soeur opened here in October 2021.

Their last IG post was April 30th: “We are growing so much faster than expected and the commissions and corporate gifting arm of our business needs so much attention. This has caused us to not be able to meet all of our retail hours because at times we need all hands on deck for these very large orders. Until we can train a new wave of team members we will have to amend our in person hours so we can meet our online and custom orders. I see these as positive growing pains and we ask that you continue to support us as we grow to be able to meet the incredible demand for the bonbons and sablé cookies you love!!!”

While their website is still live the top has a note saying: “Father’s Day is right around the corner stay posted to see what we are offering!”

Note from the landlord: (more…)

Thanks to Doug for sending: “Chevy Chase pavilion will be down to the Covid Center, cheesecake factory, the hotel, and the small convenience store in the basement which never seems to be open.”


Thanks to Caroline for sending:

“Just saw this sign today (must have gone up VERY recently). On 7th just south of T – between Miss Wanda’s and the weird Bank of America.”

Blank Street Coffee’s website says:

“We’re a small-format coffee shop built around the idea that great coffee should be priced and located in a way that makes it part of your every day.”

Stay tuned.

“Dear PoPville,

I ran into the owners and they told me they are NOT closed! They have a gas connection issue and are waiting on the landlord to fix it. I think the landlord is pushing back saying they are not going to fix it so they have closed indefinitely. Can we please help them?? They are a Korean couple who don’t speak the best English. Let’s get them open again!! Maybe a legally-minded reader could help!”
