Historic store has staying power
Mae Turner started selling produce and other food items from a lean-to built onto her house nearly 80 years ago. She later built a store near her home and ran it well into her 80s. When she passed away her son, the late Albert “Al” Turner, kept Turner’s Grocery going 34 more years at a store he built outside Concord on Pedenville Road.
