Summer means hanging out with family and friends. Going to the movie theater, shopping and of course, eating out. You can do all this and more at the Capital Mall, where it’s always nice inside, no matter what the temperamental Washington sky is doing. And, with the Capital Mall’s summer of Cravings & Savings, you can eat well, save money and even get rewarded!
Save Fuel with a Trip to the Mall
With soaring gas prices that seem to go up daily, saving gas is on everyone’s list. Probably at the top. Why not eat and shop in one location? You can pick up that new pair of jeans, get your hair done, buy a present for the dad or grad in your life, and then eat dinner without ever moving the car. Better still, hope aboard the free Intercity Transit! The bus stops right at the Capital Mall, no need to waste fuel.
