On July 25th, 1998, Ms. Dorothy Jordan was shot at the store in Tar Heel, according to Robinson. “We are going to put a permanent memorial here in her honor,” Ms. Robinson said as she held a photo of the late Ms. Jordan.
Then, Ms. Robinson presented Ms. Jordan’s daughter with a memorial plaque and a key chain.
“This is the sweetest ribbon cutting,” Maynard said.
The large crowd applauded Ms. Robinson’s sentimental remarks.
