Dupont Circle

Former Townhouse/Secret Safeway at 20th and S St, NW

Back in Aug. 2010 the Secret Safeway closed at 2001 S St, NW in north Dupont. For a hot second I thought the space might become an H Mart.

Finally word comes out from CityBiz Real Estate:

“Glen’s Garden Market, a new grocery store specializing in produce, meats, poultry, and dairy products from the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, has leased 10,084 square feet at 2001 S Street, NW, Washington, DC from 20th and S Associates, LLC.”

From Glen’s Garden Market:

Coming Spring 2013

At Glen’s Garden Market, shoppers will be able to select from the Chesapeake Bay watershed’s finest produce, meats, poultry, dairy products and specialty foods in a space designed to celebrate seasonality and offer unprecedented access to environmentally sustainable, locally grown foods. We will strive to source exclusively from farms and purveyors in Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia. In addition to the products we have all come to expect at farmers’ markets (produce, dairy, meat and some specialty foods), we will offer regionally made beer and wine, an assortment of locally sourced prepared food and locally roasted coffees. Glen’s Garden Market will also include a communal eating space composed of tables made from reclaimed wood, which will also serve as a venue for in-store events including talks, classes and demonstrations. Glen’s Garden Market will continue the long-standing tradition of innovation in food passed down by my father and uncle (Glen and Jay Rosengarten), both grandfathers (Herb Brody and Marty Rosengarten), and my great grandfather (Sigmund Rosengarten). We look forward to seeing you there!
