The closest food and grocery availability is at Ukrop’s, about half a mile north of the university entrance on Three Chopt. It’s an upscale grocery, if there is such a thing, with incredible deli meats, hot panini sandwiches and even fresh sushi prepared on site. There is an excellent selection of natural and organic foods, though on the downside, prices tend to be higher throughout the store. It’s possible to walk or bicycle to the store, though very few people do. Find somebody who you know has a car and just ask them to give you a call next time they’re making a trip to the grocery. The same shopping center includes a CVS pharmacy, great for picking up prescriptions and other supplies, a Starbucks (of course), a Subway and a few other shops and restaurants.
