201 Ethan Allen Ave, Takoma Park via TPSS’ IG

From Your Main Street Takoma:

“On July 5th, Takoma Park institution, the TPSS Co-op grocery store, will begin a 12 week construction project. During the remodel, the TPSS Co-op will run a pop up tent operation in the parking lot (Sycamore side lot), so that customers can still conveniently purchase items. The TPSS Co-op tent operation will carry produce, groceries, wellness products, beer, pre-packed bulk items and a large selection of other customer favorites. Note from the Co-op: Don’t wait until the last minute to stock up. The store will be sold down on many products by July 1st to prepare for the transition. Stock up on your pantry items before June 30th while they are still getting regular shipments!

From a press release:

“Sticky Fingers, the beloved woman-owned DC-based bakery from two-time Cupcake Wars champion, Doron Petersan, is now sweetening up more of the DMV. Its latest retail outlet and flagship commercial kitchen opens its doors on Tuesday, January 23rd in the Takoma neighborhood of DC, at 314 Carroll Street NW, across from the Takoma Metro Station. The bakery takes over the space formerly occupied by Soupergirl, and will carry Soupergirl soups in its grab-and-go section.

While the bakery has a “soft opening” this week, it will gradually expand its hours and offerings over the coming weeks, and have a grand opening celebration for the community next month.
