Sprouse closed his doors in 2017, but the building -- nearing the century mark -- needs, well, basically everything. There's no heating or cooling, the plumbing and electric probably should have caused disaster years ago, the siding is shot, and the heart -pine floors are scuffed and dull. I propose to take the building down to the studs, bring it up to code, and return it to its roots as a country store with an eye on its 1925 vintage. I envision a country store with an exterior that harkens back to days of old and takes advantage of its place on 29 South for commuters who want to grab a bottle of wine, local produce, or farm -fresh gallon of milk on the way home, serves as a community hub, and offers up quality food and drink in a corridor where it's mostly beef jerky and Bud Lite. GOALS 1. Hyper -local: Work directly with Albemarle farmers, producers, and artisans, establish a place to connect locals and through -travelers alike with the area's produce, meat, dairy, beer, wine, cider, eggs, crafts, etc. Develop a reputation for the freshest and best in -season produce. Host the North Garden Farmer's Market on Thursdays, and eventually expand it from its current 6-12 vendors a week to a year-round venture in which I buy whatever producers don't sell and today's unsold tomatoes become tomorrow's pasta sauce. 2. Hyper -happy: Pay producers and employees fairly; my projections allow for $15 an hour for employees and I've made similar calculations after talking with farmers. I want happy employees and producers who feel well -compensated and have a vested interest in the store's success. 3. Community: Create a much -needed gathering place where people can sip good coffee and peck on laptops (there is a large swath of the area that doesn't have high-speed internet, so even in the 21st century that will be a draw to some locals), meet, or just grab a quick, healthy bite to eat. Host wine/beer tastings, bands, artisans ranging from woodworkers to photographers, and events that highlight the best of all that we have locally. We have so much. My husband and I look around all the time and say, "We get to live here." 4. Green from the get -go: Create a building and a business that has extremely limited environmental impact: My own household throws out a bag of kitchen trash four times a year, so it can be done. I'm working with an environmental consultant to eventually incorporate solar power, electric -car charging stations, and sustainable practices like composting and zero plastics that mean I don't have a Dumpster out back. 5. Fill a void: For a nearly 30-mile stretch of Route 29 from 64 in Charlottesville to Lovingston, you can get gas -station food, or you can get Dr. Ho's Humble Pie (I'm not looking to serve pizza, because you don't compete with the best). The only comparable business in the local area is the Batesville Market, about 10 minutes away and five miles off 29. They also don't open until 11am, and I'm envisioning a store that's open from 7am-7pm, seven days a week. SPECIFICS The main limitation and No. 1 complaint I hear about the store is the parking situation; there's room for maybe four cars and no deceleration lane, which is dangerous on 29 and makes people less likely to stop. My plans involve rebuilding the existing canopy closer to the building, and clearing a parking lot to the left of it, thus creating a deceleration lane and allowing for up to 10 or so cars to park and exit safely. SPECS Siding: HardieShingle Straight Edge Panel in Evening Blue https://www.iameshardie.com/products/hardieshincile-siding Trim in Arctic White Sign: 5/4 antique oak to be routed with C&C router. Blue will be color -matched to building's siding Lighting: For the sign: https://www.barnlight.com/lighting/barn-lights/goosenecks/the-emblem-sign-light/ It extends out 40" (the G7 option on the site) and has a swivel knuckle so that can direct light at the sign and away from the road. Oil -rubbed bronze finish. Over the front door: https://www.barnlight.com/lighting/barn-lights/goosenecks/the-original-warehouse-gooseneck-lig ht/ 12" shade, gooseneck arm (G26). Oil -rubbed bronze finish. THE WHYS Why this place? I've been under contract on this property since February 2018, and just closed on it three weeks ago. In those 16 or so months, I've been asked every day about the status of the store by friends or random people I run into who have memories of it or are excited by my plans -- people who live in North Garden who are frustrated by a lack of a place to get together, people who travel 29 and are frustrated by a lack of healthy, local grab -and -go options, people in my neck of the woods who want a convenient spot to get a last-minute grocery item on the way home. Why me? I grew up on a small farm, so I know how to talk to the people whose wares I'd be peddling. My town had 500 people and a single country store, so I know and value its significance in a small community. I served on the board of the North Garden Farmers Market, so I actually do know them, and they're keen to relocate to my location. I'm an 11-year resident of southern Albemarle County, so I know what's missing. I've had a two -decade career in journalism, so I know how to use words to hook the intended audience -- if you're not convinced by now, I'm not doing my job. I got flummoxed by complications with the purchase of my house, so I got my real estate license so that I could understand and help other people; as a former realtor, I see potential where others do not and I am no stranger to renovation with an eye on character and history. In short, this place could be amazing.
