High End Eyewear Coming to Eastern Market
by Larry Janezich
In what may be a bellwether for Eastern Market retail – high end eyewear retailer Georgetown Optician is taking over the space at 660 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, formerly occupied by Sappore, the artisan olive oil and balsamic vinegar outlet that moved to the internet as of December 31, 2016. The property is owned by Stanton Development, who is also leasing the 16 retail spaces in the north and south buildings of the Hine development, and is known to be seeking boutique retailers. Georgetown Opticians has outlets in Georgetown, 14th Street, and Tysons Corner. See here: http://bit.ly/2nI9jFs

I don’t think this store will last very long.
I agree. There are already two eye places in walking distance and it looks like the cheaper My Eye Doctor is hurting Reed and Fissel who have been on PA for a long time.
