L.L. Bean
The prepster company is part-owned by Linda Bean, granddaughter of OG founder Leon Leonwood Bean. Linda got in trouble with the FEC for exceeding the personal donation limit to Trump’s 2016 campaign, to which she has donated many thousands of dollars. L.L.

We were disappointed to learn that Grab Your Wallet is advocating a boycott against L.L.Bean solely because Linda Bean, who is only one of 50+ family members involved with the business, personally supported Donald Trump for President.

Not sure if it's going to be a restaurant or something else, but a place called "Maison T" is gearing up to open at the SE corner of Dupont & Shaw. The space was formerly occupied by a restaurant called Universal Grill for many years.
