I must admit, I’m very sad that Ukrops has been sold!
I always felt special when I walked into Ukrops: Carrying out my groceries, babysitting, if needed, snack during my trip. And I also like the fact that all employees had Sundays off!
But I do not feel like I am in a mall like I do when I visit Wegmans!
Honestly, I don’t know why the chain had to sell. Why did higher standards not work out for Ukrops when it works so well for Chick-Fil-A.
I know that the new owner will make changes – including the sell of alcohol and being open on Sundays.
I would rotate between 3 different stores: Ashland, Glen Allen, and Fredericksburg. And make sacrifices to support the store. I have not decided what I’ll do now. I think I’ll be spending more dollars in the county for local support.
I’ve been keeping up with the Changes at Richmond Biz Sense.
