[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is insane to claim that H street is better now than 10 years ago. It was significantly better than. The decline since 2020 is fairly staggering.[/quote]

Totally agree.  I would say it even started before 2020 but the decline since 2020 has been quick and fierce.  DH and I were just taking bets on how long till Whole Food closes.  It's the only thing propping it up.  Seems like Giant is dying to leave.  [/quote]

Lol neither of those stores is going anywhere. Houses in the area sell for a million. Grocery chains like WF go on demographics and cost of housing, average SES of residents, and proximity to Capitol Hill all say H Street is still a good investment for them.[/quote]

But they have all of that in their navy yard location. [/quote]

They also have all that in their Logan Circle location. They have all that in their Shaw location. What's your point? The lines wrapping around the store at the H street location at nearly all hours of the day suggests they have more than enough foot traffic even with other Whole Foods locations within close proximity.[/quote]

My point was if the H Street location closes, they'll still get the rich Capitol Hill folks to travel to Navy Yard - it's just as easy to access for the same people.  Hence I think they're going to abandon H Street in short order if things don't turn around.[/quote]
