[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sad news: Pleasant Pops in Adams Morgan/ Dupont closed a few months ago.

https://www.popville.com/2020/11/pleasant-pops-closing-adams-morgan/

The other businesses on the ground floor of the building are also closing or have closed, including Red White and Basil.  But Mint Fitness is still operating on the top floor.

We heard from the Pleasant Pops owners that the owners of the building wanted to terminate the Pleasant Pops lease.

And I recently heard that a CVS is going in there. Makes sense: the owners don’t seem to be tearing down the building, and CVS would use the whole first floor.

Terrible news. There are CVS’s everywhere around DC— one is just five blocks away at 14th and W.
And big national corporations have an unfair advantage over local businesses, not least because of corrupt tax advantages that they gain via lobbying.

Well what did you expect would happen to them? Overpriced popsicles at a price point few people can buy or variety of everyday items at all price points that lots of people can buy

The problem with these smaller, gourmet food and product brands is they that all want to survive on their specialness which in reality is just not that special now a days bc everyone is screaming about their locally sourced this or their commitment to that and so on. They would be better off banding together, renting one store front, and selling like products [/quote]
