The new “Made in D.C.” retail kiosk at Washington National Airport offers visitors the opportunity to purchase D.C.-produced food and goods, from nail lacquer to environmentally sustainable chocolate.

It has been in operation since early May, but the official ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place this Thursday at noon. Folks don’t even need a plane ticket to scope it out—it’s located in Terminal B before the security lines.

This opening is another development in the District’s bid to support locally produced businesses. After the D.C. Council unanimously passed “Made in D.C.” legislation in 2016, small businesses could become certified under the D.C. Department of Small and Local Business Development as “verified local businesses.” Certification allows them to display official “Made in D.C.” logos on their products and marketing materials, and gain access to other resources like workshops and networking.

The kiosk is not to be confused with another shop selling locally produced goods, “Shop Made in D.C.,” which has locations in Dupont Circle and The Wharf. While the two are not affiliated, “Shop Made in D.C.” has also been financially supported by the District government with a seed grant.

This airport pop-up retail kiosk is the result of a collaboration between the DSLBD and the Pop Up Collective, a collective of women and minority-owned businesses based in D.C. comprised of members from the DSLBD’s program. Curating this kiosk at DCA is Rahama Wright of Shea Yeleen, who founded the Pop Up Collective and whose ethically-sourced shea butter products can also be found there.

When asked about the inspiration for the Pop Up Collective, Wright said over email that “it has been an ongoing challenge to scale my business. I wanted to create a community for women- and minority-owned brands to work collectively to grow and expand our brands.” Although the focus of the Pop Up Collective is to provide a platform for women- and minority-owned businesses, Wright emphasized that the “Made in D.C.” program is open to all, and that “the mix of products at the kiosk will represent the entire community of makers.”

The Washington Metropolitan Airport Authority accepted the collective’s proposal for a DCA kiosk in April. Less than a month later, it was open for business.

Wright says that the pop up has already been successful for the collective since its unofficial opening on May 8, noting that 80 percent of the featured brands have said that the pop up falls within the top three retail locations generating revenue for them. U.S. Senator Cory Booker was the kiosk’s first customer, per Wright, who shared a photo of a smiling Booker holding a bag of Oh-Mazing Snackable Granola.

In an email to DCist, the DSLBD stated that they expect thousands of the hundreds of thousands of people who travel through the airport to visit the pop up over the next few months.

This story has been updated to clarify that DSLBD expects thousands of travelers to visit the pop up, and to explain the composition of the Pop Up Collective.
