History

Established in 1919.

In 1919 Reid and Kelly Cofer had a dream of starting their own country store. These dreams would become a reality in 1919 when the brothers borrowed $ 500 to open a small country store on the red clay main street in the village of Tucker, Georgia. They swapped butter, eggs, and chickens for produce. and as they made friends with their

customers. As the business grew and prospered, the brothers ventured into other branches of retail. They added a dry goods store, a grocery store, and then a department store. Eventually building materials were added to the stock, and what had started as a small country store was a thriving, seven-​store operation.
