“Dear PoPville,
Letter from Board of Jenkins Row. See last paragraph. After the Potomac Ave Harris Teeter moved out, they’ve blocked any new prospective tenants from seeing the property. They hold the lease for 8 more years and early indications are they plan to keep the lease to keep the property vacant — maybe to stop another grocery store from moving in. (more…)
Back in September we posted some scuttlebutt about rumblings that a grocery store may be interested in the vacant space(s) in DCUSA (14th Street, NW between Park and Monroe.) Turns out it will be a Lidl!

From the Mayor’s Office:
“Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) announced a plan for a new grocery store to come to the long-vacant retail site at Capitol Gateway Marketplace, located in Ward 7 at the intersection of East Capitol Street NE and 58th Street NE.
“Earlier this month, we were proud to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new Lidl Food Market at Skyland and today, we will restart this long-stalled project and take the steps necessary to deliver a full-service grocer and other retail amenities to the residents of Ward 7,” said Mayor Bowser. “Our residents and families East of the River deserve an array of fresh and healthy food options and we will not stop until that goal is fulfilled.”
Mayor Bowser has requested the Council of the District of Columbia authorize the use of eminent domain in order to initiate action at the long-stalled Capitol Gateway Marketplace and make the long-promised grocery store a reality. Absent eminent domain authority, the site – located in an area underserved by fresh food retailers – will likely continue to sit vacant until at least 2037, since there is no legal or financial reason for the developer to advance the project.
