Frager’s may be fragmented after the fire burned the original location, but the owners are slowly rebuilding the capacity to meet all your home improvement needs without leaving the neighborhood. On Saturday, September 7, Frager’s Paint Store will reopen at 1129 Pennsylvania Avenue SE (the corner of Pennsylvania and 12th Streets, former home to Mi Vecindad restaurant). Brushes, rollers and more will be available from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
The reopened paint store will join the other Frager’s temporary locations. The “Pop Up Shop” garden center (and miscellaneous hardware products) is available seven days a week at the concrete pad across 7th Street SE from Eastern Market. Keys can also be made at this location. The Just Ask Rentals store has relocated to 1323 E Street SE, an industrial building across from Safeway. The yard adjacent to the original Frager’s location is also still open and offers fertilizers, mulch, and other large bagged products.
Stop by one (or more) of the locations this weekend and support a neighborhood pillar as it rebuilds!
