The developers of Fort Totten Square are still negotiating with a coffee shop to occupy the space at the corner of Riggs Road and 3rd Street NE. Hopefully that will get squared away soon because a coffee shop would be a very welcome addition to the neighborhood.

Unleashed by Petco and Five Guys are building out their spaces near the corner of Riggs Road and Chillum Place NE. The pet store is looking at a September opening. Five Guys anticipates a fall opening (could be September).

We have also seen hiring ads on craigslist for Five Guys. For restaurant crew members, see this ad. For general manager and assistant manager positions, see this ad.

And looking at the Five Guys website, this location will serve milkshakes! That’s a good enough reason for us to pay a visit to FTSQ.
