Bond Vet
Opened in January at 9428 Fairfax Blvd., Bond Vet offers a range of veterinary services for pets in the DMV area.
We’re on a mission to strengthen the human-animal bond through better pet care, and we started with a new approach: urgent care.
Because much like humans, pets often show symptoms for which an ER visit is not necessary, but a primary care clinic may not be able to make time for. We felt there should be a comforting, transparent, and thorough place for pet parents to get answers, quickly.
Since we opened in June 2019 in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, we’ve treated tens of thousands of cats and dogs. And as we’ve grown, we’ve expanded our services into those of a full-service veterinary clinic, offering our trademark urgent care, as well as routine care, like wellness exams, vaccines and spay/neuter, as well as surgeries, dental cleanings, and international health certificates.

South Block
In March, South Block’s ribbon cutting occurred at their location on 9672 Main Street. South Block is known for their handcrafted smoothies, juice, and acai bowls.
South Block’s journey began with a mission to unite the local community through good vibes and awesome food. The founder, Amir, grew up in McLean, VA, where his parents owned local video stores, fostering his deep appreciation for community connections.
After noticing a lack of fresh juice and smoothie options in the DMV, Amir opened his first juice bar, Campus Fresh, in 2006 at George Washington University. Over five years, he honed his craft, built meaningful connections, and supported the GWU community through student fundraisers.
In 2011, Amir launched the first South Block in Clarendon, VA, on the “South Block” side of town—a modest 700-square-foot space. Guided by the belief that small acts of kindness could create significant impacts, Amir and his team immersed themselves in the community, supporting local businesses and schools.
Fish Window Cleaning
A Fairfax franchise of the company Fish Window Cleaning opened this past March at 11200 Main Street, Suite C3. In addition to their expertise in cleaning windows, Fish Window Cleaning offers a variety of additional cleaning services.
Fish Window Cleaning has grown to be the world’s largest window cleaning company with more than 270 franchise territories in 45 states, yet we still maintain the traditional values we were founded on. We will always treat every customer as though they are our only customer.
Mike Merrick founded Fish Window Cleaning in January 1978. Based on growing demand and his success, Mike realized there was a need for this service in other markets. He used his 20 years of experience to create the Fish Window Cleaning franchise system. In 1998, the first FISH franchise opened in Tampa, FL.
