I was told by an owner relative that they may open a similar but different store in town just not Barracks Rd
Please don’t leave !
Is it back?!
They closed September 30th.
Does anyone know of a similar shop like this in Cville? Any recommendations are appreciated!
Starting Saturday, September 23, everything in the store is now 50% off.
After a week-long, store-wide sale, the shelves aren't quite as full but there is still a lot of terrific food, supplements, gifts, and more available.
Remember, September 30th will be the last day Rebecca's is open, or once everything on the shelves has been sold, whichever comes first. We hope you'll have a chance to come in again before we close.
It's been a great 36 years serving the Charlottesville community. Thank you all so much.

We love you! 💗
Wish I could walk through there and breathe in the familiar smell, and give everyone a hug one final time 😞
What I will miss is the knowledge of the people working there whenever I needed something they were so good and thorough and I felt great leaving unlike Whole Foods where you don't get that help or personal service and most of the people who work there seem stressed out and they don't want to answer any questions they just want to walk by you.
Wasn’t it recently sold?
Those of us who have worked at Rebecca’s, especially those of us here 15-34 years, have enjoyed our interactions with you all and thank you for your business and friendship.
Thanks in particular to those of you who continued shopping with us over the past 3 challenging years. It’s hard for small businesses to make it these days and we did until this point because of you.
We have our last orders coming in this week so hopefully you can get what you need from us now to give you time to find another place to shop.

I’m sad to hear this. 12 years ago I was your cville weekly rep but have also been a customer for many years. Not sure where I can find certain supplements no one else in town sells. I don’t want to buy them online because I’ve always loved that I can find a knowledgeable person in your store who walks me through everything and gives great advice. I will miss you all and wish all the dedicated and amazing employees here the best of luck in their new endeavors.
I’m really sad to see this wonderful store closed. It’s been a favorite of mine for a few decades. I wish you all the best and thank you for all you gave to our community.
Rebeccas was the best place I ever worked!! 11 years!! Thanks to Norman and the wonderful staff it felt so comfortable growing, learning and sharing. I am so sad to see it closing I cant even put it into words. I wish all the stuff luck in their future endeavors and big hugs!!
So sad about this. I've had the pleasure of working with this wonderful staff for years! So professional! So knowledgeable! Thank you for all you've done to serve your community. <3
You have made a difference here. Thank you thank you thank you. 💖
Ohhhhh I’m so sad! I will miss this place so much..
So sad but was so nice to have! Thanks Norman and his fam for your love of community!
Have loved shopping at Rebecca’s and will miss you. I will miss your vitamins too!!
I’m SO sad to see you go! Thank you for being there for Charlottesville all these years!
I’m really sorry to hear this. I’ve been a customer for decades. This will be a big loss for the community. Thanks for making such a warm and welcoming space for so many years. A lot of people are going to miss you.
I grew so much working here. I wish all of the staff the very best!
This is heartbreaking! Thank you for being a beacon of light in the community for 36 years🙏🏼
Peace and much love to all of you! I hope everyone's passion and knowledge carry forward into your next adventures.
This makes me so sad 😭 I love this store. Such a loss for our community. Thank you to the staff for all the help over the years.
It has been a long time since I worked there, but some of the most important people in my life were met in those isles. Feels like a door closing on a part of my past. A place that is more than a store. It will be missed.
Sorry to hear this. Thank you for your service to the community and the natural products industry and retailers across the country.
So sorry to see y’all go. Wonderful store!
I love your store! So very sad.:(
We’ll miss you!
Charlottesville won’t be the same without you. For years and years, I loved visiting your shop!
Thank you for being a tremendous positive in this community. Norm and the entire staff have always been the best at helping us and leading by example what a good business is. Wishing all of you the best. Thank you 🌿💐🌿 we appreciate you.
Oh no, I had not heard— I moved to Lex back in 2014, but pre-pandemic I would stop in about once a month. THANK YOU for so many things. Your staff was always awesome and offered fantastic advice. (I don't think I would have made it through peri-menopause without them.) I am grateful and sad to see you go.
Oh, so sad to hear this! When I worked for Vitamer Labs Rebecca's was such a great partner. I know the store and staff will be greatly missed!!
We will so miss you, our retail partner. Working with Bill and the rest of the staff has been a joy. May you all find an interesting and peaceful next chapter. We would love to see you in Middletown.
You all will be greatly missed! You have been such a wealth of knowledge and great products. There is no other store like this.
What customers are saying
“I love how nice and considerate the staff is, and Rebecca’s seems to give off a wonderful, pure, healing, welcoming smell and atmosphere. And everybody is treated the same. I am 11 years old, and I’m treated like an adult. Age doesn’t seem to matter, and I like that. And everything there is natural, so you don’t need to worry about really unhealthy stuff, like artificial colors and flavorings.”
Irelyn H.
“A health freak’s paradise. (No shade, as I write this as a self-proclaimed health freak!) They specialize in raw, paleo, allergy-friendly, sprouted, activated, and superfood-infused grocery items. Rebecca’s also stocks supplements galore– from CBD-infused almond butter cups to locally foraged herbal teas– as well as exotic dried fruits and nuts, local kombucha, bulk beans and ancient grains, “healthy” baked goods, and a tightly curated selection of farm-to-shop produce, meats, ferments, and dairy. ”
Molly B.
“I think Rebecca’s is an absolute gem of a store. I am so grateful to have it in my town, stocked with products you cannot find elsewhere, small and easy to shop, a free cup of coffee with organic beans and cream (what could be better?) and employees who are knowledgeable. I send everyone I know to shop at Rebecca’s and bring all visitors there for shopping as a tourist destination. Keep up the excellent work!”
