Federalist Pig says it’s still looking into opening a sit-down restaurant in Hyattsville.

The Hyattsville Wire reached out to the popular D.C. restaurant after spotting a notice on the planned location at 5504 Baltimore Ave. that it was available for lease.

“The sign is being taken down immediately as it is not for lease,” a spokesperson for Federalist Pig owner Catalogue told the Wire. “We are continuing to explore bringing Federalist Pig to the Hyattsville community. We look forward to making that happen.”

The building, once home to a tire shop, has long been planned to be a second sit-down location for the popular D.C. barbecue restaurant.

During the pandemic, Federalist Pig opened a food truck called the FedMobile in the parking lot between the building and a nearby car wash.

The 2,424-square-foot building was recently advertised as a “rare freestanding building” in downtown Hyattsville with 15 dedicate parking spaces near popular shops and restaurants such as Busboys & Poets.

The location is also just up the street from the upcoming Canvas Apartments, which will have 30,000 square feet of retail space and 285 apartments next to the historic Armory building.
