Biscuit Belly brings biscuits back to 2 Richmond-area spots
Kentucky-based Biscuit Belly is opening two restaurants in former Maple Street Biscuit Company locations in the coming weeks. Why it matters: Richmond will still have plenty of biscuits, as we deserve. State of play: Maple Street parent company Cracker Barrel sold 35 of its roughly 50 locations nationwide to the Kentucky chain in July, and closed the rest. Biscuit Belly — which specializes in scratch-made biscuits, biscuit sandwiches, daily brunch and daytime cocktails — is taking over the Short Pump and Hull Street spaces. The Short Pump Biscuit Belly opens Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 11657 W. Broad St. The Chesterfield location opens Dec. 15 at 14122 Hull Street Road. On the menu: Over-the-top biscuit sandwiches like fried chicken, sausage gravy, pimento cheese and even brisket. Plus: classic biscuits and gravy, biscuit-style French toast and cinnamon-sugar "bonuts" served with bourbon cream cheese frosting. Local menus prices weren't available, but sandwiches are generally $10-$13 in other markets. If you go: Biscuit Belly will be open daily, 7am-2pm. Zoom out: Fast-casual Nashville hot chicken chain Nash & Smashed took over the Huguenot Road Maple Biscuit. It opened last week and is now serving lunch and dinner daily. Peep the menu .

Richmond is on the front lines of the Sheetz-Wawa rivalry
The Richmond area is on the front lines of the great Sheetz vs. Wawa rivalry. Why it matters: Richmonders have strong feelings about gas station food and, therefore, chains. New data shows just how fierce the competition is in our backyard. State of play: The Pennsylvania-based convenience store giants have expanded their footprints across multiple states, but they share just 21 interstate exits, according to new data from road-trip app Pit Stop shared with Axios. Nearly half — 10 — are in Virginia, including eight along I-95 between Petersburg and Woodbridge, Pit Stop creator Jake Boyles tells Axios. And three of those shared exits are just south of Richmond, around Petersburg and Colonial Heights. What they're saying: "The rivalry's real DMZ starts basically at Richmond's back door," says Boyles. The Sheetz/Wawa divide around Richmond - mapped. Image: Courtesy of Jake Boyles/ Pit Stop Zoom in: Wawa dominates Richmond, with stores off 24 local interstate exits where Sheetz is nowhere to be found. Sheetz has just eight exits without Wawa, per an Axios analysis of Pit Stop's data. Wawa also has roughly 50 locations in the broader Richmond region, about twice as many as Sheetz , per an Axios review of
