Goochland Places

When Lynn and I first moved to Goochland in 1996, it was very rural.  This rural feel is what attracted us and resulted in our decision to buy a home here.  I recall how very little we knew about the area and its retail offerings back then.

A few years back, a shopping center was built near the courthouse area.  This shopping center is now a center of activity with its Food Lion, Subway, ABC Store, Dollar General, a pharmacy, a video store, a Chinese restaurant, and Dollar General.  Plus, there is a Hardees nearby for the less health conscious.

In recent years, our Goochland community has added some unique retail establishments in the area which now includes:

Java Jodies -- coffee and sandwich shop
White Hawk -- music cafe
Three Fellars -- Gluten free bakery
Nadolski's Butcher Shop

In nearby Hadensville, there is a drive-in movie theater which opened last year.

These unique shops coupled with traditional shopping selections at the shopping center have added a nice touch of diversity and speciality for Goochland residents and visitors.   I wish all these retailers success in our county and particularly during these economic times.
