Dover’s Oldest Grocery Store It was back in 1936 that Burl Whitley ran a small meat market in the town of Dover, while he also ran a small farm nearby. After the small meat market venture, Mr. Burl moved to a larger building (16' X 24') in 1947 and opened a small neighborhood grocery store. Mr. Burl moved around his store on crutches and waited on his customers. In 1953 Roy Lee Whitley, Sr. came out of service and began to operate the store. In 1959 Roy Lee Whitley, Sr. complete ly rebuilt the grocery store expanding it to 3800 square feet and stocking the store as a small supermarket. Most any day you can see Roy Lee, Sr. in the meat market cutting and wrapping meat, Mrs. Whitley can be seen along with her daughter, Sharon McCoy at the cash register checking groceries and son Roy Lee, Jr. can be seen putting up stock. Myron McCoy, a son-in-law, also helps the family in the store. The Whitley family has really dedicated themselves to giving the Dover community the best possible groceries and service.
