Richland: Entrepreneurs Since 1869

After leaving Bear Ridge backtrack north to Highway 133 West and continue to Richland. Grab a quick bite at The Burger Stand Try the Mr. Neal Burger! This local favorite is a bacon cheeseburger with double bacon and cheese, topped with jalapenos and a fried egg. TBS does not have indoor seating so be prepared to dine at one of their shaded picnic tables. Those with an eye for vintage signs will recognize The Burger Stand’s sign as a rare “Curly the Clown” Dairy Queen sign dating to the mid-1950s

Die-cast collectible fans must treat themselves at Final Stop Die-cast Collectibles & More FSDCCM specializes in Hot Wheels, Johnny Lightning, Green Light, M2, and Ertl products.

And don’t forget to swing by You Name It Resale for some amazing deals!

A trip to Richland would not be complete without exploring H.E. Warren Store. Founded by Captain Henry Ernest Warren in 1869, Richland’s oldest business is still owned and operated by the Warren family 150+ years later.
