I’m Back!: Oakhart Social Review

Hello Law Weekly readership! I know you missed me tremendously. I’m back as the Law Weekly’s Restaurant Critic, FINALLY reviewing an actual restaurant. I went to Oakhart Social last weekend for the first time, and it was so good I had to reemerge to share my thoughts with the public. Overall out of 10, I would rank it a 9 (well, a 9.6 if you’re going off my Beli, but I should probably re-rank). Below are my opinions on Oakhart; take from them what you will!

Savers opens massive new thrift store in Chesterfield

Savers, the massive secondhand chain with a devoted following, is opening its first Richmond-area store in Midlothian on Thursday . Why it matters: The national for-profit retailer is a thrifter's paradise, known for its selection of designer pieces, vintage finds and home decor. Until now, the closest location has been about 80 miles away in Woodbridge . The big picture: The nearly 29,000-square-foot store is taking over the former American Freight furniture store at 9131 Midlothian Turnpike in the Arch Village Shopping Center. When news of its expansion hit social media, one commenter said they'd even written to Savers asking it to open here. But some thrifters have also criticized the chain's prices, saying "I fear the name is becoming misleading." The good news: Shoppers can get 20% off their next purchase by donating eligible items . If you go: Savers will be open daily from 9am-9pm except for Sunday, when it's 10am-7pm. The Savers Thrift sign outside the incoming Henrico location. Photo: Sabrina Moreno/Axios What's next: Another Savers is planned for the former Sam Ash Music store on West Broad Street . A company spokesperson told Axios they're aiming for a spring 2027 opening. Editor's note: This story has
