Grounded reposted this
We are thrilled to extend a warm welcome to Grounded, one of our newest tenants at MLK Gateway Phase II in Anacostia. Grounded is a local Black women-owned business that emerged during the pandemic, founded by two proud DMV natives. Currently selling plants and plant accessories online, these visionary entrepreneurs will build a sanctuary that transcends the traditional retail experience at this new brick-and-mortar location. Grounded at MLK Gateway will encompass a cafe and a wellness studio, all designed with a focus on biophilic design that connects consumers to the natural world. MLK Gateway embraces and incorporates Anacostia’s historic character, including a vibrant mix of neighborhood-serving retail like Grounded and a new home for powerful and transformative DC-based businesses. We eagerly anticipate the grand opening of their storefront this upcoming spring, and we are proud to support and welcome them to MLK Gateway!
