Welcome to the neighborhood!

Over the last eight decades, the professional movers at Craig Van Lines have been helping people move in, out, and around northern Virginia. It’s what the Craig family loves, and it’s what we do. So much that we know about the residential moving business, we also know that our job doesn’t end when the last piece of furniture is carried from the moving truck.

(Did you know Craig Van Lines offers storage services to customers in northern Virginia? It’s true; just ask! But I digress…) Craig Van Lines is more than just a moving company; we’re a member of the community, and we’re happy as it grows.

As we’re seeing a marked increase in people who choose, or have chosen to call northern Virginia home, the demand for more shopping, dining and entertainment grows along. Oh, and that demand is met in spades.

Note: This article is first in a new series we’ve decided to call, Craig Around Town. Once a month, we’ll select one of the many prime shopping and entertainment destinations around northern Virginia, the first of which is:

Gainesville’s own, Virginia Gateway

Virginia Gateway is conveniently located in the heart of Prince William County where Interstate 66 and Route 29 meet. Serving the good people of Gainesville and Haymarket, this 1.3 million-square foot shopping mecca boasts more than 120 retail shops, restaurants.

Virginia Gateway is the perfect place for dinner and drinks.
