The new Lotte Plaza supermarket, however, isn’t expected to
open until the end of the year at the earliest. It’s going in the spot formerly
occupied by Safeway and will be the fifth Lotte Asian supermarket in Virginia.
There are six in Maryland.

Virginia Stained Glass moved to 6356 Springfield Plaza. The
optometrist has moved out, too. Although Smith & Clarkson Deli had initially
planned to stay, it has relocated to the Wal-Mart Shopping Center in Burke. Pizza
Bazzano has closed and is not returning.

The news about Lotte is disappointing. I was hoping for a Trader Joes.
I keep thinking Trader Joe's or MOM organic market be great for the cursed Bloom location. I hope they'd be viable there.
You are kidding, right? In Annandale these days???
I see a lot of tractor trailers at Kmart. Perhaps the Annandale Central Business District Planning Commission has been working to revitalize Annandale into a major truck stop. I understand we have thriving sex trafficking markets to attract more trucker to our sleepy little town. Thank you ACBDPC for all your hard work to make Annandale what it is today. And thank you Director Blackford for all you have done for us these last 6 years. Best of luck in your retirement. How were you ever able to do so much for us on only $160,000 a year?
Trader jones or MOM should go where Magrubloom used to be.
I would love either Trader Joe's or MOM's (or both!). Could these survive with less parking than Magruder's or Bloom? That was a big problem before. Since we have no organic groceries in Annandale these would fill a niche the mainstream marts didn't.
