How the Tucker community rallies to save a beloved business.
About this episode
The episode discusses how the Tucker community came together to support Sherry's Produce in a time of need.
For twenty-eight years, Sherry's Produce has been selling farm fresh fruits and vegetables to loyal customers from their stand in the corner of a parking lot at 3863 Lawrenceville Highway. Tina Dorsey helps run the business for her mom, Sherry Harris. When the strip mall and parking lot came up for sale, she tells the story of how neighbors and customers rallied to help raise thousands of dollar to help buy that corner lot when the owners came up short of the purchase price. And just last week, customers went to bat for the business again to make sure they could keep the parking spaces they needed. As one of their customers puts it, "It's all about community." (And the produce is outstanding.)
