I hope someone can help confirm the location of this store. I just found the photo while doing edits of my Laurens County folders. According to my data, it was made about fifteen minutes away from Lovett, but I’m not sure which direction. It is possible that this was in Johnson County. I feel like someone will know more than I do and I’ll gladly update.
Update: Paul Glover writes that this store was “owned and operated by Mr. Jay Cooper when I was a kid back in the late 1960s thru the 1970s. Don’t know when It opened or closed but it it passed down to Mr. Jay Cooper’s son Jackie after Mr. Jay passed away. It never had much product for sale just small staple items. Not sure what it was formally named but we called it Jay Cooper’s Country Store!”
This store is about 1 mile south of Kite, Georgia(Johnson County) on US221. It’s was owned and operated by Mr. Jay Cooper when I was a kid back in the late 1960s thru the 1970s. Don’t know when It opened or closed but it it passed down to Mr. Jay Cooper’s son Jackie after Mr. Jay passed away. It never had much product for sale just small staple items. Not sure what it was formally named but we called it Jay Cooper’s Country Store!
Thanks, Paul. I’ll update this soon. I knew it was in the general area. It was a long day and somehow I put it in the wrong county. It happens on occasion. Thanks so much for the information. Great memories.
It looks like a nice country store. Hope you find it! Thanks for all your posts.
