a box of chips away mini eggs
Alison M.

I've been following on social media for a while and was excited to give them a try when passing through Richmond on my way back home to VAB from a weekend trip. I was greeted when I walked inside quickly and it was a rainy mid-afternoon Monday trip so I think I got lucky because no one else came in the whole time to browse like I was. I did see several items I was interested in, some KitKat bars, some boxes of Oreos, several kinds of chips, cereal, chocolate candy bars and two drinks. However, when I asked the cashier how much the Oreos and bags of KitKats were he informed me $10. What?!? The KitKat bags weren't even full, they had like 10 items in them. Nothing has prices on it at all, so I was immediately much more selective after hearing that. I knew everything was exceedingly marked up. I believe the cereal box was $20 or something crazy so I didn't even bother. In the end, we left with two small-sized bags of chips and one Oreo sleeve for $33. They do have some things I've never seen, but as another reviewer mentioned, I decided to search Amazon and found a lot of the items I saw, for like $6 here and there. I think it's great that this place has carved out a space for themselves doing something so unique, and a following on social media, they've figured out how to do that well by sharing what everyone chooses so people can see stuff and wanna go try it, but WOW the prices are high! If I'd gotten all the things I wanted... I would've spent $95 on like 8 snacks. I have a whole new appreciation for some of the purchases I see on Instagram now, bc they're like $350. I would've probably been more likely to spend a bit more money on a few more items if not so high. It was a cool stop once - but after now knowing the prices, it was a one and done for me!

$8/9 candy bar

How you stay open with expired products? $9 for a bag of chips and $8/9 for candy bar. Everyone needs to start going to the international mart on broad cause I seen most of this in there for 1/2 the price and Walmart to. Check the Tokyo shop in Carytown also. I don't mind supporting small businesses but don't gouge ppl like this.

Small little market with extremely overpriced mostly-Asian imports (some with 7-11 logos). Was hoping for some snacks from Germany, Britain, Turkey. No prices on most items, so be prepared to pay up big-time at checkout. $20 for a Pepsi Cream Soda. They do have some American snacks and drinks. Entertainment 6/10 but value 2/10.

I'd seen a news story about this spot but totally forgot to visit it the last time I was in town. This time I remembered. One of my favorite things to do in any country is to go to grocery stores and markets because I feel like I get to learn so much about what people are eating and snacking on. Bags of chips are always something I purchase for souvenirs or for my own enjoyment so I definitely had to try One Way Market. When I'm stateside I love to visit Asian, big-box grocery stores to try different snacks but One Way Market is different in the sense that they carry, primarily brands from the U.S. but flavors or editions that are not released here. For example I've always marveled at how different Doritos are in the U.S. compared to Canada so it was eye-opening and fun to try Doritos for all over the world. The prices aren't cheapest but still, you got pay for exclusivity, but this is a wonderful place to loose yourself for a bit and to get a fun snack for a coworker or a friend and something for yourself too.

This is an amazing, warm and inviting store. It's set up like a corner store which made me happy. Taking a look at the shelves you'll find snacks from all over the world. Chips and cookies, candy bars and Cheetos. Dorito salsa! It is a small space packed with big flavors. The owner was very nice. He answered all my questions and entertained my active children as they danced around the store. He gave us everything (we got a lot ‍) in a super nice box. He carried the box to the car for us. It was all around an amazing experience. We got stickers with the stores logo and we got tagged on the stores Instagram. In the heart of RVA, I drove down from Newport News and was not at all disappointed. I will be returning...... a lot!!

Variety of snacks: Lipton Cherry Blossom tea, apple juice, Watermelon Pocky, Cherry Blossom KitKit minis, Lays Strong Chili

One Way Market is the spot in RVA & VA for any and all international/exotic snacks. I've been coming around for a few months now, and have always been blown away from the selection and constant updated stock. The owner is good people and always asks how I am/what's up. Some other reviews are about price, which I would like to point out that the prices at One Way are comparable if not cheaper than most online international/exotic retailers. I've done the research to see what it would take to get some of these items, and between product and shipping alone, it ain't cheap! Shout out to One Way for always having rare items at a good price on top of a cool market with the essentials as well.

Sample of snacks!

Great place to get exotic snacks that you can't get anywhere else!! A huge selection of snacks you would never see in the US, while visiting RVA definitely go here!

Exotic Lays and Doritos

How have I not written a review for Shields Market? Love this gem in the heart of the Fan. A great…read morestop for picking up things to satisfy your sweet tooth, like I did today with a Nightingale's Ice Cream Sandwich and brown butter cookie. Or maybe you're looking for a grab-and-go meal? Or deli meat and cheeses? Or beer? Friendly neighborhood spot right across from Joe's.

I used to consider this a great place to grab a quick something--maybe an unusual beverage, maybe a…read moreVirginia-made ice cream, or maybe just something needed around the house. In short, it was a nice place for lots of unique or convenient goods. Unfortunately, I'll be crossing Shield's Market off the list, as they will not return products that were opened before being sold, decline to stand by their own policies concerning refunds, and steal from customers by accepting return of a products with the promise of an upcoming refund and then refusing to issue a refund. The short version of how I found this out started when I purchased of a bottle of vermouth and was not offered a receipt. The manager told me on a phone call that the store policy is to accept returns without a receipt for defective products returned within 24 hours of purchase, which should have meant that a receipt was not necessary. But the same manager nonetheless refused to refund my money even though they did take the product back. The longer version involves two additional trips to the store after the initial trip when I purchased the bottle (totaling three visits in as many days), assurance by the store's cashiers that a manager would be able to issue a refund (which is why I made the second additional trip during a time when a manager would be present), the store taking the bottle back on the promise that a refund would be issued (apparently I had bought the last bottle, otherwise I would have simply exchanged it), and then a stunning phone call from the manager (who had been too tied up with phone calls to speak to me when I visited the store while she was there). That phone call was stunning because the manager both advised me of the policy of issuing refunds (even without receipt) when a defective item is returned within 24 hours, yet then (when I reminded her that I had, in fact, attempted to return the product within 24 hours) refused to act on that very policy. It's worth noting that it was abundantly clear that the product's damage--what appeared to be a clean cut around 90% or so of the seal, so not exactly something one immediately notices when just trying to make a quick purchase--had occurred before I purchased it. No one else had touched the bottle after I purchased it and it hadn't been jostled or exposed to any unusual environmental elements. My credit card company recently completed its investigation of this matter and found in my favor, refunding the payment. Shield's Market apparently did not dispute the information I provided to the credit card company, despite a lengthy window in which it could have done so. Normally, if the return policy of a business seems irrational or simply customer-adverse, I would mention that in a review and, if it's a particularly obnoxious policy, would dock a star or two. However, that is not the case here. Shield's does have a reasonable return policy in theory, the problem is bigger--they simply refuse to abide by their own, stated policy. I can therefore only conclude that it is not a reputable nor even ethical business and have rated it accordingly. I recommend avoiding this business.
