DCist is reporting that Capitol Hill Bikes will be re-opening in 719 8th Street, SE, which is just a few doors down from their previous location. 719 is the previous location of VIP Spa, the business that was busted for running a prostitution ring back in October.
DCist got the scoop from money n’ stuff, another local blog. An opening date is not yet available. We are calling around for more details and will share any updates as soon as we get them.
UPDATE: THIH spoke with Denise D’Amour, and she confirmed that they are in active negotiations to move into the location at 719 8th Street SE, but it is not a done deal yet. They hope to find out more soon. In the meantime, keep your fingers crossed that we get our neighborhood bike shop back!
