DSW Is Coming To Columbia Heights

I only mention this because Nduku loves some DSW and Najwa’s first shopping trip was to DSW. Personally, I’m glad to hear DSW — which I thought meant Discount Shoe Warehouse — is coming to Columbia Heights in Washington, DC, only because it means not having to take a road trip to Virginia for Nduku to get more shoes!

We need our tax dollars here!

Leasing activity is heating up at DC USA, a retail complex in the District’s Columbia Heights neighborhood, where several national chains are slated to open stores within the next six months.

Modell’s Sporting Goods plans to set up shop at the mall in early June, filling 7,500 square feet of space for its second store in the District. DSW Shoes is advertising for a store manager to run its store when it launches in the fall. That’s around the same time Panera Bread is scheduled to move into its new 4,086-square-foot digs.
