Stores on the Way

As I mention just about monthly, the Old Georgetown Board permit submissions are often the best way to find out what stores are on the horizon for Georgetown. This month is no exception, although the catch is a bit light.

The first is Huckberry at 1239 Wisconsin Ave. This space has been vacant since Sleep Number mattresses moved out. I first reported this back in October, when it first appeared in the OGB materials. This is just verification, I guess.

(Quick inside baseball aside: applications for OGB approval have two stages: concept and permit. It’s just as it sounds. The first round is about approving a general design concept. The second round is about refining the details and getting final sign off.)

Next up is the Google Store coming to 3235 M St. This is another store I’ve already reported on, but I don’t think I had the renderings last time. Despite Google’s normal bright, primary color design scheme, the store is pretty dour looking. I’d joke about how this is a store where you walk in and do web searches, but I did that last time. And it wasn’t really that funny then either.

And that’s it, at least on the store front. The Key Bridge Exxon condo project getting rebooted is a much bigger story.
