[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rumor is the Giant in FH is closing in January, but there's a covenant in the lease or something that says that space must always offer a full-service grocery store so something else is taking its place ASAP.[/quote]

Aldis please!!![/quote]

Giant is facing headwinds and is consolidating.  There speculation that the “Giant Giant” on Wisconsin Ave. in DC, which is just 5 or 6 years old, may not survive very long after Wegmans opens just three blocks away.[/quote]

That is news to me and uninformed speculation on your part - a quick google search reveals no news articles about Giants either closing or consolidating.

And the only speculation about the CP Giant is coming from you.

The FH Giant is closing, according to the manager I spoke with, because the rent was jacked up.

Interestingly the Zoning requires a grocery store in that development so the landlord is going to have to find a new grocer.  The space is probably too big for a Trader Joe's and too small for a Wegmans and Whole Foods has their 2nd largest store in the country across the street so it will be interesting to see if they find a new tenant.  The landlord of the Chevy Chase Center has been pretty good at finding tenants though not so good at putting lipstick on the pig of that awful car oriented complex so we'll see if their hubris doesn't blow up in their face in the same manner that it did for the Chevy Chase Pavilion.
