Three restaurant chains plan to open locations in D.C., two for the first time.
Chop’t will add a ninth shop to the city at the Market Square on Pennsylvania Avenue NW, while California-based vegan eatery Native Foods and Connecticut-based Plan B Burger Bar will open their first.
News of Native Foods’ arrival was first reported by Young & Hungry, while the Washington Business Journal had the scoop on Plan B. The deal was announced today by CBRE, the commercial real estate service that arranged the leases.
By now, you probably know that Chop’t serves salads cut up within an inch of their lives. Native Foods serves vegan options, like seitan meatball subs and tofu curry, while Plan B Burger Bar has a huge selection of burgers made from “100% verified humane, fresh, never frozen, wet-aged whole chucks and hand-ground on premises daily.”
Plan B will have some competition from Smashburger, which plans to open 30 franchises in the area over the next five to seven years.
Request for comment on when these eateries will open was not immediately returned.
