Seems like getting an actual local coffee shop in the airport is a good first step in making RIC feel like you’re actually arriving in Richmond.

The current crop of Applebee’s, Caribou Coffee, Sam Adams Brewhouse, and Cheeburger Cheeburger is the most generic collection of restaurants imaginable. I’d love to see a local brewery or two open up a tasting area (Hardywood? Ardent?) and maybe a local restaurant setting up shop too. Get a King of Pops kiosk set up in the terminals too and now we’re talking.

King of Pops is a franchise, not local.

Interesting! I’ve only seen them in Richmond so I assumed they were local.

They should put in a Nightengale ice cream sandwich vending machine!
