Renew Capital Bagel Bakery's Lease

The Issue

Capital Bagel Bakery has been in the Alexandria, VA, community for almost 30 years.  We are located in Bradlee Shopping Center, on King St.  Originally, we were Chesapeake Bagel Bakery and became Capital Bagel about 15 years ago. During this time, we became favorite hang out place in the neighborhood.  We have generations of families coming together to enjoy our food and service.  We have 10 year lease, expiring 03/15, and we were about to renew the lease.  Instead, we were given 30 day notice to vacate the location due to Landlord's consideration for Fresh Mart, which just opened on 1/29/14.  We stii have more than a year left in the lease.  With such a short notice, the owner and the employees of the store will become unemployed by the end of February and will have tremendous financial difficulties. All of us, like everyone else, have families to support, not to mention little newborns.   We would like to have our lease renewed so that we can continue making living.  Please support us by signing.  We appreciate your support.
