Local VA

Dear Locals,

We have made a difficult decision to temporarily close our doors. It saddens us, but the weather, COVID resurgence, people’s reluctance to dine out and the seasonal end to the Farmers Market have all played into our decision. This downtime will give us the opportunity to aggressively concentrate on obtaining additional funding from the newly approved stimulus package as well as reevaluate what we do and how we do it. Additionally, as some of you know, a few months ago we discovered that the unit we occupy does NOT have heat or A/C and much to our surprise, this has been the case for the past several years. It is our hope during this down time, our landlord will do the right thing and take the necessary steps to provide these basic systems to enable us to properly serve our customers. We cannot adequately express our gratitude for your continued support. This is yet another unanticipated adjustment along a difficult path but don’t count us out!

With appreciation and respect,

The Local VA Team

Wishing everyone a Happy Holidays from the Local VA Team!

Loaded hot dogs is the theme this week!

• First off, we teamed up with our friends @mucci_mustard for the “Holihog” which is a bacon wrapped hot dog over a homemade cranberry spread on a grilled bun and topped with the one and only mucci mustard which is a crossover between honey and spicy mustard!
• Second we have the classic house made chili cheese dog topped with onion straws and shredded cheese. Jalapeños optional!
• Not pictured: Warm yourself up with a bowl of our house made chili!

PSA: Mucci Mustard also offers their “10X Mustard” for sale which is for all of the extra spicy lovers out there!

Blessed with the best neighbors

It's Small It's Small Business Saturday! This year more than ever, focus on supporting your local community and your local economy. I'm sure you've seen the meme "When you shop small you support a dream and a family" well, here's mine. :-) This crew puts up with a lot and has been so supportive of me following this dream.
.
I have way too many to list but here are some of my favorite local brick and mortars that you can support with your holiday shopping: Books Reston's Used Book Shop or Scrawl Books, chocolates and handmade gifts Chesapeake Chocolates or River-Sea Chocolates, ship some tea from Elden Street Tea Shop or granola from Dano’s Granola, pick up pretzels from Nordic Knot, buy a bike or accessories from The Bike Lane, a gift certificate to your favorite restaurant or taproom Lake Anne Coffee House & Wine Bar, Local VA, Kalypso's Sports Tavern, Lake Anne Brew House, 100 Bowls of Soup or grab clothing from so many of us small businesses who offer branded apparel. Wouldn't you rather have your kids sport a local logo than a big brand?
.
Think about your other local salons, galleries, services that you can support too. Meg Donnelly, Nova Weekend Warriors , Rowan Tree, Reston Museum , Reston Art Gallery & Studios , Top Style by Kate Noda
.
There are so many others to support - feel free to comment with your favorites! #communityovercompetition

No better time to support small than on Small Business Saturday! Thank you to everyone who has gotten us to this point and we hope to see you today
