Stripling's General Store to Open Oconee County Location

The owners hope to open at the 78/53 intersection as early as September.

Grading is to begin this week at the corner of US Highway 78 and Georgia 53 for a franchise store of the very popular Stripling's General Store, according to a story in OnlineAthens. The Banner-Herald reports that the store will be owned and operated by Jimmy Camp and his children. 

Camp, a Walton County resident, has been working on the deal for about 18 months, but says he has been a customer of Striplings for years.

Stripling’s General Store is well known for its meats and specialty items. Currently, there are two Striplings in Cordele along Lake Blakeshear in South Georgia.
