Updated 2/27: Justin Marino, owner of Mason and Greens, reached out to ALXnow. Marino said:
We would like to thank the community, the City and all who have supported our small business over the years. We had a good run, and hope we introduced you to new items that are good for you and the planet, and different ways to live a cleaner and better life. We will miss our customers the most, the Mason & Greens family wishes you the best, and much success in your journey to a more sustainable future!
Zero waste boutique Mason and Greens (913 King Street) seemingly closed in Old Town earlier this month.
The store closed earlier this month with no public notice. Calls to the store went unanswered and the doors were locked at the store, with all the interior shelves emptied.
The shop opened in Old Town in 2020 with a focus on sustainable, zero-waste products, offering an eco-friendly alternative to other grocery stores.
The other Mason and Greens location in D.C. closed last October.
A picture of the sign in front of the store just before the closing was sent to ALXnow with notes attached to the board:
We’re abruptly closing and displacing all our employees just like the DC Store! Going out of business. Goodbye. Come and get what’s left! And let the employees know about current job openings! Thanks!
