With thanks to reader JW for the eagle eyes, I can pass along that there is now a "
Domino's Coming Soon" sign in the window in one of the three retail slots at
900 M Street, the beige building that was recently a dialysis center but originally was a Hudson car dealership. (
Out of date photos here; guess I'd better get over there this weekend.) The leasing company has said they are looking for national tenants for the spaces--I haven't heard if there are any leases signed for the other two units. (Though my mind always wanders back to
this story from last August that mentioned a Dunkin Donuts franchisee scouting locations near the Navy Yard.)
Now, will people consider this "new" retail in Near Southeast, or just a restoration of the old order? After all, Domino's used to be one of the few food options in Near Southeast, at its original outpost at
South Capitol and M, until it closed in early 2008. (That site is owned by
Monument.)
