The Cleveland Park location of D.C.-area based Margruder's Market is closing its doors this weekend, according to Nbcwashington.com. Saturday will reportedly be the last day of business for the market, located at 3527 Connecticut Avenue NW, at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue and Porter Street NW. It's a bummer for the adjacent neighborhood, as Magruder's was a convenient spot to be able to pick up essentials. Magruder's locations in Gaithersburg, Rockville, Kemp Mill, Vienna, Falls Church, Alexandria and Chevy Chase will remain open. The rising cost of rent is cited as the reason for the closing.

Gah! I heard this was coming. I've not always been a fan of their produce, but I'm still a bit sad as it IS a very convenient place to pick up stuff when getting off the Metro. Bummer.
Man, that space would sure make a nice CVS.
....or a Starbucks.
That's a bummer for the CP 'hood. That's a great little market.
It tis. Loved them half-priced roasted chickies.
Eeh, if you really have a need to shop for overpriced food and crappy produce in a cramped environment within sight of the CP Metro, there's always Brookville. At least the latter has decent bread. I'm hoping this might finally wake up Federal REIT (who owns that strip mall) that they need to lower rents to attract some new businesses, but I'm not holding my breath.
