Thanks to Robert for sending: “looks like another Wawa is coming to DC. Former Staples location at 1250 H Street NW (Metro Center)”
Back in August of 2019 a retail brochure mentioned a Wawa was coming. This is the former Staples space. Looks like work is set to begin.

“No more Subway in the Eastern Market area! I tried to open the door to head in for my morning Oven Roasted Chicken on wheat and then saw the sign. It’s a loss for me. I loved the staff here. One employee’s wife even made my whole family traditional Tanzanian garments for Christmas one year.”

Located at 500 H Street NE, this outpost solely dedicated to India’s iconic dish Butter Chicken, opens Tuesday, February 18th. Similar to the downtown DC location, only 300 servings are prepared per day, however the H Street NE restaurant will be open all day long, with 100 servings prepared for lunch and another 200 for dinner. Sheikh previously opened award winning restaurants in Northern Virginia (Curry Mantra London Curry House and 1947), before deciding to focus on Washington, DC.

He debuted the original Butter Chicken Company this past fall in downtown DC. (more…)
