Where Do You Grocery Shop at Lake Anna?

By
Real Estate Agent with Dockside Realty VA 0225142975

Where do you grocery shop at Lake Anna?  For years I've been asked this question as I drove buyers around Lake Anna looking at property.  It was very apparent that we did not have a large supermarket at the lake.  Although I would always tell them about the convenience stores scattered around the lake but the complete answer, of course, was to go to Louisa, Fredericksburg, or some of the other cities that surround (but not too closely) Lake Anna.  Now I have a completely different answer for buyers.

That is why there was so much excitement surrounding the thought of a supermarket coming to Lake Anna.   For many years we had heard that there might be a store built so when this one was first announced there may have been some skepticism.  Thankfully it was true and not only a supermarket materialized but an entire shopping center.

Ever since construction began it has been a topic of conversation.  It has been fun to see from the way it has grown from the ground up.  The first sign was a huge mountain of dirt.  Heavy duty equipment was at work.  Soon walls emerged and before we knew it we could see what was to come.

Chase Development did a very nice job of designing a shopping center that fits into the country atmosphere around Lake Anna.  It was exciting to drive by and see the changes as the construction took on a life of its own.  Now it is exciting to actually walk through the doors and go shopping.

Love that Welcome sign!

Kate, what a difference a good supermarket makes to the person in the family doing the cooking.  That's not me anymore, but I know my husband is excited that we are getting a new store about a mile down the road.  Good cooking.

Hi Kay...I don't shop that much but I love the convenience. The store is only a couple of miles from my office.

Hi Suzanne...My hubby is the cook and grocery shopper also.  He was there well before I went.  My mission was to take photos of the interior and to pick up some pita bread and hummus to take back to the office for a snack.  I'lll be posting those photos soon.

Hi Wallace...The best thing is to let folks know upfront.  For a few it is too inconvenient but for most it is part of being away from lots of traffic and commotion.

Kate ~ This may sound silly but don't you love shopping in a brand new grocery store? The food just seems fresher somehow when it is displayed nicely, aisles are clean and it just smells wonderful. I hope you have many wonderful shopping experiences at your new grocery store in Lake Anna!

Hi Gary...It has proven to be a big hit.  I didn't think I would be that excited but now that it's here and I'm taking advantage of it I'm very happy.
