Grocery Stocker jobs in District of Columbia

About:
The result of a couple guys who love good food and cold drinks, Duke's Grocery is a neighborhood pub and supper spot with locations in the Dupont Circle, Foggy Bottom, and Navy Yard areas of Washington, D.C., with a Duke's Counter sister location in Woodley Park / National Zoo.

The idea is simple: create a fun spot that our friends (you!) can come in anytime and have a fulfilling meal, a tasty drink and great time in an atmosphere that is unpretentious and laid back. Tuck in, drink up, and enjoy!

We're currently gearing up to reopen our orginal location in Dupont which has been getting a facelift the past year.
