On Monday we reported that “Staff training has been happening” at the new Whole Foods coming to Navy Yard. Now a reader who attended one of their hiring events said they were told doors open October 18th!!
And for those who don’t actually like going into Whole Foods, also earlier this week, we learned “Amazon Expands Grocery Delivery From Whole Foods Market To Washington D.C.”.
Why yes this will be my default Whole Foods photo for the foreseeable future
From a press release:
“Amazon and Whole Foods Market today launched delivery of natural and organic products from Whole Foods Market through Prime Now in Columbus, Dayton, Portland, Greater Washington D.C. and additional areas of New York City, including Greenwich Village, Chelsea, Union Square and Murray Hill. Starting today, Prime members in those cities can shop through Prime Now for thousands of bestselling items including fresh produce, high quality meat and seafood, everyday staples and other locally sourced items from Whole Foods Market.

Thanks to Ryan for the update on the Whole Foods coming to Navy Yard:
“furniture and front door sign. Staff training has been happening. Has to be close right?”
STAY TUNED.
Now be a good lad and eat your broccoli grilled pineapple. AND you can get it delivered with Amazon Prime. All is awful awesome!
Thanks to Chelsea’s husband for capturing at the Whole Foods on H Street, NE.
Thanks to Kristin for sending a shot of the Hill East Safeway. Stay tuned for a larger store and 325 apartments too. Updates as construction progresses.

“Dear PoPville,
Heads up for anyone headed CostCo in NE… they’ve cleared out most of the meat due to the heat and anything still available is ‘insulated’ under cardboard. Other open refrigerated sections are shielded with pull-down shades. Pretty wild ahead of the holiday. This was around 6:30pm Monday night.”
More photos after the jump. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I just had an exchange with the grocery delivery person that caught me off guard and was wanting to know if the PoPville universe had any similar stories to tell?
I’ve been using Peapod for about a month and tonight was our 3rd delivery. The previous 2 have been great; timely delivery and the last person in particular was really nice.
I’ve tipped the previous 2 deliveries on my credit card and that wasn’t a problem until tonight. When I told this delivery person that I’d put a tip on my card for him, he said “I don’t get all of that money. If you call and tell them you changed your mind and give me cash instead, they’ll give you your tip back.” (more…)

Oooh here’s some tasty scuttlebutt:
“Union Kitchen grocery will be taking over the closed Glen’s Garden Market as early as late summer/Fall.”
Ed. Note: I give this scuttlebutt an 85% accuracy rating. STAY TUNED.
Union Kitchen Grocery on a tear!! Their original Capitol Hill location is located at 538 3rd Street, NE. Their second location is located at the Convention Center in Shaw and their are plans for another location for Franklin Square.

Saturday was indeed the day that Streets Market opened in the old Brookville space. I think even the old school service lane loving obstructionists will love it – a true feat!! Enjoy.
More photos after the jump (not pictured – tons of produce). (more…)

Jennifer reports:
“signage up for Streets Market in Cleveland Park. Spoke with an employee entering store who said they will open on Monday, June 11. He let me peek in: bright & clean with freezers & shelves already stocked. Looking good!”
And as you can see in the photo above, they’ll also be selling beer and wine.
Ed. Note: I hear they could be soft opening as early as this weekend!
Gonna take a minute to get used to the new signage. RIP Brookville. (more…)
