What grocery store do YOU think is coming to North Stafford?

By Uriah Kiser

Published February 11, 2026 at 8:00AM | Updated February 11, 2026 at 11:40AM

Stafford County could finally name its long-teased “high-end” grocery store on Feb. 17, 2026, when supervisors hold a public hearing on selling the former Old Moncure Elementary School site at 75 Moncure Lane for a grocery-anchored redevelopment.

County documents describe the proposal as bringing a “high-end grocer” new to the Stafford market to the 10-acre property near Garrisonville Road. The board has not publicly identified the retailer.
