Ukrop's Super Markets Double-Sided Keychain Charm
Keep Richmond grocery memories close with this double-sided Ukrop's Super Markets keychain charm. Founded in 1937 by Joseph Ukrop, the family-run chain served Richmond and nearby Virginia communities for generations before its stores became Martin's in spring 2010. Its name still recalls neighborhood service, prepared foods, bakery favorites, Joe's Market, and the Dot's Pastry Shop story. A small everyday keepsake for keys, bags, and local-brand collections.
Ukrop's Super Markets was founded in 1937 by Joseph Ukrop and operated family supermarkets in Richmond, Virginia, and the surrounding area. At its peak, the company had 26 stores, chiefly in the Richmond market, with locations in Williamsburg, Colonial Heights, Petersburg, and Fredericksburg. It also ran Joe's Market, a Richmond specialty store named for its founder. The chain was known locally for customer service, baked goods, and prepared foods, while its Sunday closures and policy against alcohol sales set it apart from competing supermarkets. In 1976, Ukrop's bought Richmond's Dot's Pastry Shop, using that name for years before changing it to Ukrop's Bakery. In 2009, locations in Williamsburg and Roanoke closed amid low sales and limited brand recognition. Giant-Carlisle, a subsidiary of Netherlands-based Ahold, announced its purchase of 25 Ukrop's stores on December 17, 2009, for $140 million. The sale closed February 8, 2010, and stores became Martin's in spring 2010. Ukrop's continued through its bakery and kitchen operations, with goods sold under the Good Meadow and Ukrop's brands.
