The grocery-flush quadrant is getting a new Lidl and another Whole Foods at the end of June.

The city’s oldest Walmart will shutter on March 31.

Ward 7 and 8 residents living east of the Anacostia River now have even fewer grocery store options.

Coupled with a Lidl already under construction in Ward 7, the arrival of a Giant would represent a significant increase in access to grocery stores for residents living east of the Anacostia River.

There are only three full-service grocery stores in wards 7 and 8 east of the Anacostia River, though that number may soon be growing with recently announced development plans.

Toilet paper, canned goods, and cleaning supplies are flying off of the shelves in D.C.

“The co-op will be a way for residents to really have a sustainable store in their neighborhood that they can control and doesn’t just up and leave.”

A new Trader Joe’s is also opening in D.C. on Friday at 750 Pennsylvania Avenue SE

He was buying flowers this Valentine’s Day in Glover Park.

Elements of the project will be reviewed Thursday, which may soon lead to the developer breaking ground.
