Almost a year ago now my parents and I were thinking about opening a coffeeshop franchise (GreenBerry’s) in River East preferably in downtown Anacostia, we have not given up on the idea but the timing just was not right for that type of venture for us.
Shortly after we shelved the idea i was happy to hear that another enterprising business person is moving forward with plans to open Big Chair Coffee (pictured above) at 2122 MLK Ave. Despite not being the first to the River East market with a coffeeshop/cafe, i am super excited about this and provided that the service and offerings are up to par, i will be supporting it regularly in fact it may become my office away from the office.
Hi there-
I really enjoyed reading this entry. I’m very excited to hear, see and read about the revitalization of the Anacostia (downtown) neighborhood. I was in that area not too long away and was blown away. I just hope that with all of the construction/gentrification/removing of “urban blight” that this doesn’t erode the old charm of Anacostia. Great blog.
