Soup Up, a restaurant specializing in healthy soups coming to the Peripoint Building in downtown Bethesda, installed its permanent signage yesterday. The restaurant, an outgrowth of an existing soup vending business in the District, is scheduled to open this fall at the corner of Wilson Lane and Old Georgetown Road. Bang & Olufsen previously occupied this space.

Bethesda's distinctive Peripoint Building, formerly home to Bang + Olufsen, is getting a new tenant. Soup Up Bethesda has posted signage announcing a fall opening. There's also a website, but like the Silver site I told you about yesterday, there's nothing on there yet.

Soup Up does have a website for its DC location, which has a recent sample menu, and a long list of soups they've offered. According to some of the signs, the soups will be gluten, dairy and oil-free.

Here are some more pictures of the signs, as well as of this great building, which will likely be preserved from redevelopment thanks to a potential density transfer to Douglas Development's 8008 Wisconsin project.
