ADKINS STORE

This is the store I shopped at when I was a child. It's very different now. It's has take out food. I get the chicken after church. It's a little salty, I try not to eat it MUCH.

The original Adkins Store is gone, replaced with a filling station/convenience store of the same name which is pretty well stocked. When I visited I was looking for old churches nearby, and found I was in the heart of Chicahominy Indian country—even the clerk who waited on me was Native American, and sent me west on Lott Cary Road to Samaria Baptist Church, which was built by Chicahominy Indians, although over time it has added others to the congregation. The nearness of Adkins Store to the Chicahominy is emblematic of the early peaceful relations established between the Society of Friends (“Quakers”) and Native Americans.

BEST fried chicken ANYWHERE. The fried fish and BBQ are also fantastic. Nice people working there.

Sam is the best and will go out of his way to help you.
