Around the store, associates were seen preparing food for the grand opening, including a woman carefully balancing a cheese display and butchers preparing fresh cuts.

A full-time certified cheese professional will help customers find products to suit their needs, a spokesperson told Tysons Reporter on the tour.

The store features more than 1,000 local products from the D.C. area, which includes a few brews on tap, a spokesperson said.
