Old Country Store Celebrates An Anniversary!
Wow, it's hard to believe it's been 43 years since the original Old Country Store opened on Airways Boulevard (then called Poplar). First opened as an antique museum with a small lunch counter in April of 1965, it sure has grown since that humble beginning. We are very grateful to our local friends and friends from around the world for the past 43 years. It's been a great ride and the best is yet to come!
Mr. Brooks Shaw passed away many years ago but his fingerprints remain on our business as we strive to make him proud. Mrs. Anne Shaw celebrates her 85th birthday in May and is a remarkable woman. What a great couple our founders were and we're happy Miss Anne continues on as the heart of our business. She loves having her kids work in the business. We are grateful to our leadership team and our amazing staff who work hard every single day to make it happen. 43 years...now that's a lot of cornbread and turnip greens.
Many thanks to Clark and Juanita Shaw for their leadership and dedication. Their passion for the business is contagious. Lawrence and Norma Taylor do an outstanding job running the Museum. Norwood and Joyce Jones worked at the Store for 37 years before retiring in 2002 from the day to day operation and we're grateful for their part in our success. We have great partners, a great team and great guests. We call it an honor to serve you every day. Since 1965, thanks for allowing us to be a part of your lives! If you have a favorite OCS story you would like to share I'd be glad to hear it and post a few on our blog. Email us at caseyjonestn@yahoo.com .
