Mike's Food Store
has grand opening
Mike Heath dreamed of one day
owning a convenience store in
Kings Mountain.
Recently, he opened the store of
his dreams on S. Battleground
Avenue across from Timms
Furniture dnd started slashing gas
prices.
"I cut my gas and K-1 kerosene
and cigarette prices to the bone and
I'm proud to say that I'm one of
few stations who have done that,"
said Heath, who held grand open-
ing and ribbon-cutting ceremonies
Saturday at Mike's Food Store.
He sold 9000 gallons of unlead-
ed gas for 89.9 cents per gallon
during an eight hour period, 1100
hot dogs for four for a dollar, and
hundreds of other items, ranging
from soft drinks to bread.
Heath said Saturday was a red
letter day for him in other ways
too. He announced his purchase of
the adjoining 3 1/2 acres of land
owned by the Hannah family on
which he plans to expand.
Heath also owns and operates
Mike's Food store in Grover which
he opened two years ago. He cut
his teeth on the grocery and gas
business in 1977 at the former Etna
Oil beside of Wade Ford and also
at Petroleum World.
A native of Kings Mountain,
Heath is the son of Junior Heath
Wirtz to expand
its Grover plant
Wirtz Manufacturing on S.
Battleground Avenue in Grover is
expanding its assembly plant for
the manufacture of battery equip-
ment.
Plant Manager Larry Brown said
Wirtz will add 25,000 square feet
of floor space to its present 25,000
square feet assembly plant and the
addition should be completed by
June 1.
Brown said the business has
grown over the past few years to a
point of needed expansion.
Wirtz, a 60-year-old company,
built its assembly plant here in
1988.
Wirtz primarily manufactures
and builds grid casters, furnaces
and related equipment, plus spare
parts for this equipment.
A small second shift appears to
now be necessary, said Brown, and
the remainder of the present staff
can occupy the added area, primar-
ily used for testing of the equip-
ment prior to shipment.
