What’s With FedEx?
OK. New condo towers and office spaces are sprouting up all over town. Inevitably, these new buildings require some sort of retail on the first floor. Lately, I’ve been noticing the business of choice seems to be a FedEx Kinko’s, a Wachovia or both. I count three new FedEx or FedEx Kinko’s [is that like when KFC/Taco Bell joined forces?] either moving in or having just moved in to some gentrifying zone. There’s one on M Street in SE by the stadium. There’s one on 14th Street NW. And there’s one in Adams Morgan. I’m sure there’s more. The FedEx Kinko’s website says there’s at least 19 locations in the District. Um, I guess I’m a little late in spotting this trend.
So is FedEx Kinko’s the new CVS?

the fedex trend is being driven by this one: more telecommuters and people working from home who need fedex services. bank branches, on the other hand, are the new urban blight.

There’s another FedEX Kinko’s going into the Wisconsin Avenue strip in Glover Park, I think in the space where my beloved Apollo Market used to be.

They are replacing the one stop (and bilingual) copy, fax, passport photo, latin american couriers, internet storefront, pay your pepco bill, get a cell phone, western union, key copies spots that provided essential services to the marginalized latino biz community in Adams Morgan and MTP and CH for so long. Now that those populations are diminishing and those business are drying up, the Kinko’s is like a modular unit for neighborhoods with young professionals.
