They join previously-announced local businesses leasing space at Metropolitan Park, including online fitness platform HUSTLE’s first brick-and-mortar location, family-owned Conte’s Bike Shop, Vienna, Virginia-based Social Burger, Arlington juice shop South Block, pet care business District Dogs, and Lorton, Virginia-based specialty coffee roaster RAKO Coffee.
