A DESTINATION FOR DECADES
Welcome to the once IGA Grocery Store in Shenandoah, Virginia. A neighborhood staple for generations, this location was a daily stop for the local community looking for grocery items and some IGA chicken to serve up for supper. Today a portion of the newly renovated store is now home to . . .
TASTE - The Southern Market & Trading Co.
TASTE offers a gathering space where a home cooked meal is ready for pick-up, OR dine-in and catch up on the local news. Gifts, sweets and other deli items can be found at TASTE.
Stop in and see what we have done with the place! ❤️
Meals Together
“TASTE was built to bring family and friends together over a home cooked meal. Menus change daily as fresh ingredients become available - but know you will always find some IGA inspired fried chicken and your favorite comfort food sides at the hot deli bar (while supplies last!)” - BJ Turner, owner
“From Chicken to Funnel Cakes” - is the TASTE motto of today! Spoken by former IGA deli employee and now TASTE owner, BJ Turner. BJ took it upon herself to keep that local “IGA chicken” legacy alive using the original recipe with a healthier spin - lower in sodium and BJ’s specialty herb-seasoned flour for a much more robust flavor with a crispy coating that flakes with each perfect bite.
Enjoy classic comfort food and deli hot sides, daily features and cold sandwiches paired with chips, sodas, shakes, coffee and other yummy treats only found at TASTE. All available for dine-in or carry-out.
The TASTE Trading Co. carries a fine selection of branded pantry items, gifts and supports a rotating group of local small businesses in a vendor area.
Call ahead and order for pick up! 540-652-0466

The IGA team is back together in an amazing space where we can continue to do what we do best - create “comfort food” to be shared with our community. Our meals are made daily from scratch - using fresh, seasonal ingredients with original flavors for dine-in or carry-out.
