Capitol Hill residents raised the funds to reopen Mott's Market, a historic D.C. grocery store that first opened its doors in 1918. Mott's Market reopens on Capitol Hill after 4 yearsIn 1916, Woodrow Wilson was president and the United States had 48 states after Arizona and New Mexico joined the Union just four years earlier. After more than a century of serving the community under different names, neighborhood residents repaid that debt by raising the funds to reopen Mott’s Market after it sat closed for four years. “In the next three years, rebuilt it into the Mott’s Market that we’re reopening today.” From coffee, pastries and breakfast burritos in the morning and sandwiches at lunch, this version of Mott’s Market is much more than your average corner store.
