A convenience store chain is bolstering its presence in Chesterfield in an asset that was once envisioned as an outpost of a former local florist.
Sheetz has started a new location at 9420 Midlothian Turnpike, a 2. 7-acre asset he recently purchased in a $2. 5 million deal from an LLC connected to Strange’s Florist.
The transaction included approximately $2 million for the land and approximately $500,000 for Strange’s to perform elevation paintings on the property. The undeveloped land valued countywide at $1. 3 million.
Although the structure of Sheetz has begun, it’s unclear exactly when it’s expected to open. A spokesperson for Sheetz responded to a request for comment.
It is expected to include a 6,000-square-foot convenience store, fuel pumps and a car wash, according to a plan submitted to the county.
The land acquired through Sheetz is part of a roughly 30-acre set along the toll road that Strange purchased decades ago for the purpose of building a flower shop there.
Strange has changed his mind and the company is now selling off parts of all of its assets due to issues such as transforming the gardening business landscape, said Strange President Bill Gouldin. He added that the creation of a potential florist had been long overdue. Project preparation procedure.
Gouldin said that while the company saw the possibility of an outpost at the site, it was also open to the idea of selling the land at the right price. He said other parts of the 30-acre site are under contract sale.
“Times have changed since we bought it 20 or 30 years ago. From the beginning, we intended to go for the highest and most productive usage imaginable,” Gouldin said. “We intended to open a store unless we were given a smart deal. “”.
The sale announced through Cushman
Gouldin and his brother Cary are co-owners of Gouldin Holding Co. , which controls Strange, and real estate entity Gouldin Properties LLC, which is the merchant in the transaction.
The LLC is indexed as owning the remainder of the estate, which includes the 9. 6-acre parcel at 9500 Midlothian Turnpike, an 18-acre parcel at 9450 Nature Way, and two less than one-acre masses at 9278 and 9286 N. Tuxford. Highway, according to online territorial records. The complex is near the interchange of Powhite Parkway with Midlothian Turnpike.
The Sheetz deal is the first sale involving Strange’s reunion to be announced. A Thalhimer map of the complex showed that any of the houses on Tuxford Road were under contract. A Take Five Oil Change location is planned at 9286 N. Tuxford, according to county records.
Strange’s sells plants, flowers and the like at two locations: one at 12111 W. Broad St. at Short Pump and the other at 3313 Mechanicsville Turnpike in Hanover.
Gouldin said the company is doing well and has more than 100 people working in its stores, depending on the season.
“We were very lucky. During COVID, we struggled to operate with consumers who couldn’t faint, but thanks to COVID, we’ve since controlled success. We’re having a very smart year so far this year. “he said.
The company once had six locations, but has reduced its number of outlets over the years. It closed two outlets in Chesterfield in 2017.
Strange’s was founded locally in the 1930s and has been owned by Gouldin’s circle of relatives since 1947, according to the company’s website.

Sheetz is an amazing store. You can see the rise of the subway by the number of Sheetz stores. We want many more at RVA. Keep it up, Sheetz!
He spoke like a true provincial.
How many dinosaur juice gas stations can a city support?I think it’s silly for them to talk about peak oil and global warming and yet keep building fuel station after fuel station. Lately they have a Sheetz gas station featured on the Midlohatain Turnpike through Kroger. .
I think it’s crazy because I drive an electric vehicle and I’ve been in one of those positions non-stop for two years.
Global warming and climate control, as described by the Deep State elites, is a big lie. I wouldn’t worry about that. The Earth has changed to some extent NATURALLY. And not raising the degrees of the sea is also a joke. For those who want to take New Orleans as an example, no, the French built this city on top of a huge swamp.
Didn’t Obama’s leader lose his life (in a way) because of the emerging sea grades at the newly acquired beachfront property?
Bill Gates is completing his beachfront hotel in Del Mar, on the coast of San Diego County.
Didn’t Bezos buy (on Tuesday?) his third mansion on the same low-lying island off the coast of West Palm or Miami?
I find it very brave and reassuring that the “elite” is in a position to confront this climate factor head-on (creating a falsely exploitable commodity, namely “carbon”).
It’s not just about gasoline. These convenience retail outlets are really where a lot of those businesses make money. I know you’ve never been there, but when I pass Sheetz or Wawa, the inside is packed to the max. In addition, Toyota and now Ford are embracing plugs. hybrids instead of full electric vehicles. PHEVs satisfy the desires of most American drivers, use about 1/6 the battery life of an electric vehicle, and yet offer the convenience of a 5-minute fee for many miles of range. Charging and 400 kW capacity testers are on the horizon, but. . . Read More »
Carl, maybe you deserve to take a look at who “they” are talking to you about global warming. I’m not talking about paid readings through the teleprompters of state propaganda networks. I’m talking about the other people in the scenes, who supply them with state-approved programs. Do you remember, by any chance, Sir Anthony Blair? I recommend you dig deeper into their very old and (still) failed attempts to create a carbon trading exchange.
There’s no need to look for the “Welcome to Chesterssippi” sign, you’ll know you’ve arrived thanks to the frequency of mega fuel stations on each of the other blocks. This component of Tunpike literally hasn’t been used yet. car dealerships and huge fuel stations that supply processed foods for the masses.
