      <![CDATA[I go to Ukrop's because it's a good store, locally owned, clean, with fresh produce and competent, cheerful staff. I would never go to Walmart, that destroyer of anything local, and the others just don't measure up.

      <![CDATA[This is the result of decades of shameless pandering to big chain corporations and mediocre national franchises. The people of Richmond have a longstanding track record of whoring out their own heritage, local history and culture to become just another generic, characterless, boring middle American strip mall town.

      <![CDATA[I reall going to the first Ukrops store on Hull Street on Fridays when my Dad was paid from Reynolds (remember Reynolds, the plant where he and hundreds worked is scheduled also for closure). So this story is another in a long line of sad stories that start with once upon a time there was a Richmond business....

      <![CDATA[Ukrop's engine certainly seems to be losing some steam.<br>Customer service for one thing. i over charged for peanut butter two times in a row and the cashiers were less than helpful when I brought it to their attention.<br>You might as well shop at Food Lion for that kind of attitude.<br><br>And even the employees agree with my observation that the lighting level is some stores seems to have been scaled back in recent months

      <![CDATA[We all want to support local business but there is a limit to how much extra it is worth.<br><br>Ukrops is nice, but it is no longer the best grocery store in the Richmond Market. There are reasons they have gone from a 40% market share to 19%.
