The Newpoint Corners Store opened for business in

The Newpoint Corners Store opened for business in early April in Newpoint, a TND near Beaufort, South Carolina. The 1,100-square-foot store carries everything from soap to specialty foods, from wine to greeting cards and penny candy. Proprietor Beverly Waggoner says the store attracts coffee buyers in the morning, children in search of treats in the afternoon, and couples wanting a quick dinner in the evening. Her main concerns are raising the amount of the average sale and being able to continue offering milk and eggs. Suppliers won’t deliver these goods if the quantities are too low, she says. An ice cream store will open next door in the early summer. u
