The Neighborhood

West Broad Street is one of Richmond's most eclectic stretches, running through the heart of the city near the Arts District and close to the Museum District. The area has a walkable, creative energy that draws artists, students, and longtime Richmonders alike.

West Broad Street offers street parking along the corridor, with metered spots typically available near 400 W Broad St. The area also has nearby surface lots within a short walk.

Shopping Tips

  • Visit early in the week — Tuesday and Wednesday tend to see newly rotated stock, giving regulars first pick of fresh arrivals before the weekend crowd arrives.
  • Don't skip the art — Circle's dual identity as an art space means original pieces and prints cycle through regularly, often at prices far below gallery retail.
  • Check every section even if it's not your usual hunt; the eclectic curation means home goods and décor often sit near clothing, and unexpected gems turn up when you browse broadly.
  • Follow up repeat visits every couple of weeks rather than once a season — the inventory at Circle moves quickly and changes often enough that a monthly swing through West Broad is worth building into your routine.
  • Ask the staff — the team here tends to be knowledgeable and genuinely engaged with the inventory, so if you're looking for something specific, a quick conversation can save you a lot of digging.
