Corner Pantry celebrated the grand opening of its newest fuel and convenience store in Camden with a ribbon cutting ceremony and daylong activities aimed at celebrating Corner Pantry’s continued investment in the local community.
The celebration of Corner Pantry 157 – located at 51 E. DeKalb St. – began with a ribbon cutting ceremony with City of Camden Mayor Vincent Sheheen and representatives of the Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce who helped officially welcome Corner Pantry’s fifth location to the Camden area.
“The City of Camden is thrilled to welcome this new, state-of-the-art Corner Pantry to the Burndale area of our City,” said City of Camden Vincent Sheheen. “When businesses invest and thrive in Camden, our entire community benefits.”
Corner Pantry representatives, alongside Camden Mayor Vincent Sheheen and representatives from the Camden Police Department, Camden Fire Department, and the Kershaw County School District, join together for a ribbon cutting ceremony and check presentation of $20,000 to support the local community partners.
Corner Pantry Owner David Tucker reaffirmed the company’s commitment to the local community with check presentations to the City of Camden police and fire departments, Camden High School, North Central High School and Pine Tree Hill Elementary during a ribbon cutting ceremony. Tucker presented $4,000 checks to each school and organization, totaling $20,000 in donations.
“We’re excited to welcome Corner Pantry to our community and are grateful for their generous support. Strong local partnerships mean everything to our district, and this is such a great example of how our community comes together to lift up our students and schools,” says Kershaw County School District Superintendent Dr. Harrison Goodwin.
The day’s festivities featured $2.50/gallon gas, free Hunt Brothers Pizza, free hot dogs and chili dogs, TV giveaways, and trivia with gift card prizes. The event also included local vendors with free samples, a live DJ, racing simulators, Budweiser dune buggies, children’s ball pits, and discounted deals and specials inside the store.
“Today is all about celebrating our newest location, but more importantly, it’s about our deepening connection to the Camden community and giving back to those who go above and beyond for it each day,” said Tucker. “As our tagline says, ‘It just feels right’ to support local schools and first responders while simultaneously providing our customers a safe and clean environment for convenient gas, food and beverage service.”
The new Corner Pantry store is company’s fifth location in the Camden area. It features a welcoming interior, daily food service with fresh options for breakfast and lunch, bean-to-cup coffee, and on-the-spot shopping for travel conveniences.
