It’s tough to run a restaurant or a fitness studio during the pandemic, but it’s even tougher to run an indoor children’s bounce gym.
Jumping Joeys, which opened at Market Common Clarendon (2800 Clarendon Blvd) just a few months before the pandemic, appears to have closed for good.
The doors are closed, the lights are off, and all the interior decorations and furniture are gone: Cosi (1801 N. Lynn Street) in Rosslyn is closed.

After a little more than two years in business, the Burgerim at 3811 Fairfax Drive is closed.

After nearly 60 years, The Inn of Rosslyn is permanently closed.

The family also sold two apartment buildings: Fern Gardens and Williamsburg Apartments.
A pair of Rosslyn restaurants within a block of each other in Rosslyn have shut their doors.
The Subway at 1401 Wilson Blvd and the Tom Yum District at 1515 Wilson Blvd are empty and have had their exterior signage removed. It’s unclear when each closed. Both primarily served a workday lunch crowd that was dramatically thinned out by the pandemic and office workers working from home.

After nearly 50 years in business, the Americana Hotel in Crystal City permanently closed this month.
