Last night, Tommy helped Harris Teeter open its doors at the new Potomac Ave, SE location in Hill East. This makes only the second Harris Teeter open for business in the District.

Tommy was joined by ANC Commissioners Ken Jarboe, Will Hill, and Carol Green (and possibly more, that's just who I saw) and hundreds of neighbors to cut the ribbon and flood into the new grocery store. One important fact to point out – out of the nearly 130 new employees at this location, 84 are DC residents. Not only is this a great new amenity in the neighborhood, its adding jobs for DC residents.

After the store opened, hundreds of neighbors wandered the aisles testing free samples of just about everything the store has to offer. Based on what we saw last night, we can expect a lot more foot traffic and with the outdoor seating for prepared meals, a lot more eyes on the street.

This is great news. I am happy to see another grocery store opening on the Hill. I would like to know what incentives are in place for small businesses to start operating in Ward 6. Any information would appreciated.
