In preparation for tomorrow’s grand opening of the H Street Whole Foods, District Cuisine wanted to provide a video throwback to the demolition of the old H Street Self Storage (best part is at the end of the roughly minute long video). Before Whole Foods and the Apollo building were construction at 6th and H Streets, NE a combination of Murray’s (a grocery store), Good Danny’s, and H Street Self Storage occupied the block.
Preview of H Street Whole Foods
13 MarAfter several years of construction and anticipation, H Street’s Whole Foods will be opening this Wednesday (pending the snow) at 6th and H Streets, NE in the Apollo Building. The store will open with a bread breaking ceremony at 8:45 in the morning. District Cuisine took a sneak peak of the store over the weekend. The entire building was previously a combination of Murray’s (grocery store), Good Danny’s (Chinese food), and H Street Self Storage.
In addition to the usual Whole Foods offerings, the store will have quite a few locally sourced products ranging from beer to gelato to snacks to pastries. The prepared foods area will also feature a new Chinese diner concept by Maketto owner Eric Bruner-Yang. The second floor of the store will have a bar and will offer beer and wine that can be purchased and then consumed throughout the store or even on the patio outside. For the first week, the store will have several doorbuster deals on products throughout the store.
Good Danny’s and H Street Self Storage Close, Paving Way for Whole Foods Development
24 JunIn the past couple of days, both H Street Self Storage and Good Danny’s carryout have closed (see photos). In addition, Murray’s grocery store closed earlier in the month. These three businesses occupied the buildings that will soon be demolished to make way for the Whole Foods/major apartment complex that is coming to H Street. These three closings represent an important first step towards that development starting construction in the coming months.
