Three months after the closing of Hamburger Hamlet off Democracy Boulevard and Old Georgetown Road, we hear two national restaurant chains are looking seriously at the massive space. The Hamlet, a staple at Georgetown Square shopping center for nearly 40 years, was a go-to restaurant for locals in the 1970s and ’80s. But its popularity had declined by 2012, when its California-based parent company declared bankruptcy. Another California company, Du-par’s, briefly took over and tried to turn the Hamlet into a 24-hour diner. But that didn’t go well either, and the restaurant closed its doors last December. Stay tuned to Store Reporter to find out who’s moving in.
