History
Whitesell's Variety Store was owned and operated by Connie Whitesell in Gibsonville, North Carolina. The store was originally located on Main Street and opened around 1928. He sold a variety of products to include clothing, hardware, feed, seed, and groceries. In the early 1950s, he built a store on Eugene Street (where there is now a car sales lot at 108 Eugeue St.) and moved the business into the newly built store. During the Great Depression Mr. Whitesell took a lot of I.O.U.s. He lost a lot of money because most people didn't pay him. An old ledger book was found showing he had forgiven those debts to him. He closed the store around 1958.[1]
