Two New Retailers Coming

Two new retailers are coming to Georgetown, according to new Old Georgetown Board filings. The first, seen above, is for Kiehl’s. They are apparently moving into 3110 M St., which was most recently an Up/West.

Kiehl’s is a skincare company. If you happen to have or know any Gen Zers, you will know that that generation is obsessed with their skin care routine. So I think this opening is part of a bull market in that sector.

If you find yourself experiencing a bit of deja vu right now, that’s because Kiehl’s previously occupied this exact location. They closed around 2019. But they just couldn’t quit Georgetown (or 3110 M St. specifically).

The other notable new store is Huckberry, which is coming to 1239 Wisconsin Ave. This is another DTC brand looking to establish a brick-and-mortar business in Georgetown. Unlike most of the other DTC brands that have opened in Georgetown in recent years, this one is exclusively targeted at menswear. We’ll see if that’s a viable long term strategy or not.
