Jason Wells+FollowTrader Joe’s is coming to Fredericksburg!Fredericksburg’s grocery game is about to level up—Trader Joe’s has officially confirmed plans for a new store in town. While the exact spot and opening date are still under wraps, early plans point to the Shops at Fall Hill, right between Cowan Blvd and Fall Hill Ave. This means easier access to all those cult-favorite snacks, affordable wines, and international goodies locals usually drive to NoVA for. Parking and produce size might be a trade-off, but the buzz is real. What Trader Joe’s finds are you most excited to see on local shelves? #Food #Fredericksburg #TraderJoes00Share
Mary Williams+FollowFredericksburg’s sci-fi cookie shop is out of this worldStepping into Smugglers Cafe in downtown Fredericksburg feels like boarding a spaceship—right in the middle of Caroline Street! This new spot, dreamed up by a local husband-and-wife team, is packed with Star Wars, Disney, and Harry Potter vibes, plus a queue that’s straight out of a theme park. The real star? Half-pound cookies baked fresh every day, with flavors like chocolate chip, coffee cake, and a rotating monthly special. Since a TikTok video went viral, lines have been out the door. Would you wait for a cookie if it meant a trip to another galaxy? #Food #Fredericksburg #SmugglersCafe00Share
