Restaurant to open in former bank building
The operator of a food truck is developing a restaurant in the former Wells Fargo Bank branch at 4260 John Marr Drive in Annandale.
Basim Mansour, one of the co-owners, said he hopes to open in June. He asked us not to reveal the name of the restaurant or the type of food, only that it will have a unique concept.
“The food truck has a massive following on social media,” Mansour says. It has 1.2 million followers on Instagram. The Annandale restaurant is their first brick-and-mortar project. “It’s really going to be crazy when we open. There will be massive lines.”
They’re also planning to open restaurants in other locations, including the Skyline area, Potomac Yards, the Huntington area on Route 1, Georgetown, and a D.C. food hall.
