Densons Grocery

"Folks, We are Open for Business!"
Densons Grocery held their Grand Opening on Saturday, May 28, 2011.

Back in the day, Densons Grocery used to be located at 118 Bancroft Ave. That shop was run by Rocky Denson's folks. They just opened in the former Sand Castles Ice Cream & Deli location on Washington Ave, and will be run by Rocky, wife Blaire, and sister Carole Denson Hollowell.

Grand Opening ceremonies at the 1,000 square-foot shop included a ribbon cutting by mom Anne Skinner Denson!

Frederick Denson originally opened Densons Grocery in Colonial Beach back in 1912, and he passed the business on to Bernard and Anne in the late 1940's when Bernard got out of the Navy after World War II. He later became Mayor of the Town of Colonial Beach and also served on the Town Council.

Items carried by the store include certified choice Angus beef, wild-caught (mainly local) seafood, imported and Virginia cheeses, organic milk in glass bottles from Pennsylvania, imported pastas and sauces, Carolina Plantation brand rice, stone-ground grits; and a variety of craft beers and local and imported wines.

Carole holds down the Deli department, which carries high-quality meats, chicken salad, potato salad and coleslaw made using old family recipes and sold in environmentally-friendly biodegradable containers.
