Good Foods Grocery

For the last 25 years, Good Foods Grocery has provided healthy food, vitamins, and products to the Richmond community.  They have locations in the West End (at Gayton Crossing) and the Southside (at Stony Point), though I’ve only been to the one in the West End.

It’s a spacious store – much more than you would expect given its location inside the Gayton Crossing shopping center.  It has a fresh produce section which carries as much local produce as possible, a bulk foods section, grocery section, and a section for beauty care items and a very robust health items section with vitamins, supplements, etc.

As far as the West End location goes, most of the people who work there are super nice – if you run across one who isn’t try to brush it off, because the store does have quite a lot to offer.

For instance, they have classes and workshops all the time.  They have occasional Wellness Wednesdays, where they offer information about products, services, and give instructions on cooking and more.  These will be on the third Wednesday of the month at both of the locations.

Their website also offers a wealth of health and nutritional guidance, as well as a monthly sale sheet so that you know about what kinds of bargains you can get.  They also care about making a difference in the world, and lobbied to oppose the Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010, which would have given the FDA more power over dietary supplement providers.  You can also read about that on their website.

Locations:

Stony Point Shopping Center – 3062 Stony Point Road 804-320-6767
Gayton Crossing Shopping Center – 1312 Gaskins Road 804-740-3518

The Coolest Christmas – Tinker’s

If you’re anything like me, you’re already freaking out about buying holiday gifts.  Even if you’re not like me, you might be thinking about those holiday gifts you’ll need to buy for friends, family and co-workers.

Might I suggest that you check out Tinker’s – a great shop in Richmond that pays extra-close attention to the spirit of the holidays?  Have someone to buy for who seems to have everything?  Go to Tinker’s.  Have someone who has a unique flair?  Shop at Tinker’s.  I guarantee you’ll find stuff there that you won’t find anywhere else in Richmond.  That’s because Sharon – owner of the shop – picks out inventory for her store that is made by people who blend art and function into delightful gift and decoration items.

Tinker’s is a family-owned place.  Sharon is there to tell you about where the items come from – who makes them, etc. and her niece makes the extra-special toffee that bears the shop’s name.  Award-winning storyteller Slash Coleman is Sharon’s nephew, and he has hands in almost everything at Tinker’s – helping upholster furniture, helping with the marketing, building the Facebook page, and working on the upcoming website.

Tinker’s is located at 2409 Westwood Avenue and is open M-F from 10-5, and Saturdays 10-4.  I highly suggest you toddle on over there and check out the holiday decor and pick up some gifts for the more discerning people on your gift list.
