"A South Korean bakery chain expanding across the DMV with a large 5,000-square-foot Germantown store; owners Michael and John Canterino say the brand differentiates itself by baking pastries onsite at every location and franchising specifically to local owners with community insight, and they view the bakery as “a sustainable brand in its prime” that can fill a hole in Germantown’s market. The location is designed to attract the work-from-home crowd with perks like free Wi‑Fi, plentiful outlets, and lots of free parking." - Emily Venezky
