Ping by Charlie Chiang's closes its doors.
Ping by Charlie Chiang's has closed its doors in Shirlington Village.
A new CVS is coming and its arrival is prompting Cheesetique to move to a larger space.
CVS will open in 2020 in a nearly 11,000-sq. ft. space at the intersection of Campbell Avenue and South Randolph Street in the Village at Shirlington, Federal Realty Trust announced Friday morning.
The space was formerly home to PING by Charlie Chiang, which closed in 2018.
In addition to taking over the former PING restaurant, CVS will expand into the space next door, where local cheese and wine shop/restaurant Cheesetique is located.
Cheesetique is using the opportunity to move into a larger space in the Village at Shirlington, 4024 Campbell Ave., just east of Guapo's restaurant and about a block east of Cheesetique's current location.
Here's the full statement from Federal Realty Trust:
Federal Realty Investment Trust (NYSE:FRT) announced today that CVS Pharmacy will join the Village of Shirlington at 4060 Campbell Avenue in 2019.
The new CVS Pharmacy location will open fall of 2020 in a 10,906 square-foot space at the intersection of Campbell Avenue and South Randolph Street at the center of the Village. The new store will offer an expanded selection of healthier foods and wellness products in addition to a full-service pharmacy, bringing best in class health and beauty needs to the Village.
Preceding CVS’s arrival, Cheesetique will relocate to a larger restaurant space within the Village at Shirlington at 4024 Campbell Avenue, allowing the locally-grown purveyor to expand its specialty cheese and wine shop, restaurant seating, and private dining offerings.
"We are thrilled to provide the Village at Shirlington with a new amenity that will meet the needs of the surrounding community,” said Dan Corwin, Director of Asset Management at Federal Realty Investment Trust. “We consider the Village to serve as both an entertainment and dining destination to greater Arlington, as well as a local hub for the many individuals living in and around Shirlington, and we believe CVS Pharmacy will provide Campbell Avenue with more conveniences that attract our local customers daily.”
