Thanks to G for sending from Union Station. Back in December Magnolia Bakery announced that they had “we made the difficult decision to close this location for the foreseeable future.”
Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.
Union Station
Thanks to Michael for sending: “While Bojangles may be gone, It looks like Popeyes is heading to Union Station (and Suki Hana)”
Suki Hana’s website says:
“Suki Hana brings the best of Japanese cuisine to our customers at a fraction of the price typical Japanese restaurants can’t charge. (more…)
Lower level food court 50 Massachusetts Ave, NW
It’s been a while since I’ve stopped by Union Station, didn’t realize the Bojangles closed. There was great excitement when we first learned Bojangles was coming back in 2010 (a lifetime ago, a question we asked in that post “Do you think anything will ever go into the old movie theater space?”)
Thanks to Jonathan for sharing: “H&M at Union Station closed – sign said March 6th was their last day”
H&M opened in the former Barnes and Noble space in Union Station back in 2013.
Union Station, 50 Massachusetts Avenue NE, Street Level-West Side Shopping Concourse
Alas not all is festive at Union Station. Magnolia Bakery’s website says:

Thanks to Jehan for sending word:
“I spotted signage for a Halal Guys in the Union Station food court today. It’s next to the Wendy’s and &pizza! The booth is locked up right now, but the sign is up above it.” (more…)
From an email:
“On Monday, October 12th between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM, Arm in Arm DC organizers will host an action to protest both the current Union Station redesign plan and the continued recognition of Christopher Columbus through the name Columbus Circle and the Columbus statue outside of the station. We will also be conducting a voter registration drive during the protest.”

601 2nd Street, NE
Thanks to Patrick for sending:
“Looks like another location is set to open, super close to the Butter Chicken Company 2 location on H Street, at the old Duet location (601 2nd St NE) rather than Masala Art as previously thought. Also now appears on their website along with coming soon 4 (Dupont) and 5 (Bethesda) coming soon!”
