Park Place apartments at New Hampshire and Georgia Ave, NW technically 850 Quincy St, NW
No, I’ve never actually heard of Burgerim but this damn retail space has been vacant for so long – I’m marking this as a win!! Also, burgers!!
Michael Neibauer reported on twitter:
“Pending BZA special exception approval, D.C.’s first Burgerim franchise is planned for 850 Quincy St. NW, at the corner of Rock Creek Church Road and Georgia Ave.”
So I think this is the big space with the curve at New Hampshire and Georgia pictured above. Anyway Burgerim’s website says:
“Burgerim is an international fast casual franchise with a shiny new concept. (more…)
Thanks to Anne and Tova for sending:
“That was quick. Buredo shut down.”
