The fast-casual restaurant is based in Alexandria, Virginia, and is expanding to Chevy Chase and Capitol Hill. Owner Noe Landini said he’s hoping for an opening before Christmas, but worst case the restaurant would debut just after the new year.
Landini is making a return to the area after managing food and beverage at the nearby Ritz-Carlton. He said executives from the Chevy Chase Land Co., which operates The Collection, visited Junction in Alexandria and loved the brand and concept, kicking off a conversation about opening one in Chevy Chase.
Landini re-familiarized himself with the area and decided it would be a good fit.
“I was really impressed with what they had done and what they were doing,” Landini said.
The Collection is an upscale shopping center near the Friendship Heights Metro with several restaurants and shops, including Saks Fifth Avenue and Tiffany & Co.
The Alexandria restaurant has breakfast, lunch and dinner, featuring pastries and breads made fresh onsite at its bakery. The Chevy Chase location will have a similar concept, but will be supplied by the Alexandria bakery, leaving space for a full bar.
