Uniqlo and Nut Factory Coming

Two new stores are on the horizon for Georgetown, at least according to this month’s Old Georgetown Board submissions.

The first is the international brand Uniqlo. They have long been rumored to be looking for a location in Georgetown, and it appears they have found one. The sign application indicates that they are aiming to take over the recently vacated J Crew location on M St. (J. Crew moved to the other end of M St., opening recently at M and 30th).

(In case you’re wondering, in English the name of the store is pronounced like Unah-Klow. For what it’s worth, in its original Japanese it’s pronounced more like Unick-Cah-Lo.)

The other new store is probably a less familiar name to you. It’s called Nuts Factory, and it’s coming to the former Town Liquors location at Wisconsin south of O St. This appears to be pretty much what it says: a store that sells nuts. But it appears the main product that they sell is something called Dubai Chocolate. They have about a dozen existing store locations, all of which are in the northeast.
