The Virginia ABC Authority, backed by Virginia State Police troopers, raided a Spotsylvania County restaurant that defied orders to close in the face of government-ordered coronavirus restrictions in 2021.
Agents came to Gourmeltz on Route 1, seized $10,000 of liquor, and downloaded data from the restaurant's computers. It was the latest move in a chess game between the state and restaurant owner Matt Strickland, going on since January 2021, when the health department ordered Gourmeltz to close for not adhering to former Gov. Ralph Northam's executive order requiring restaurants to limit the number of patrons inside their restaurants due to coronavirus fears.

After much back and forth with lawyers representing Sheetz gas stations, the Board of County Supervisors approved a new fueling station and convenience store to be built at Interstate 66 and Route 29 at Gainesville Crossing. It will be the first retail development in a new complex next to a 1,000-space commuter lot.
Micheal Vanderpool of the Manassas-based law firm Vanderpool, Frostick and Nishanian, P.C., representing developer Buchanan Partners, said the Sheetz is the perfect project in an ideal location. Vanderpool petitioned the Board of County Supervisors for a Special Use Permit, a document required before Sheetz could build a planned drive-through lane outside the convenience store, and install gas pumps.
