Fleet Plummer was founded in 1949 and was located in downtown Greensboro. When it opened nearly 70 year ago, by Charlie Plummer, it was a hardware store. The Pummers have masterfully adapted their retail establishment for the changing times and the store has evolved into a place to shop for home and garden items, seasonal items, and all things southern. As seen in the above photo, currently Christmas is featured. After the new year, Santa and his reindeer will be replaced with patio furniture, grills, bird feeders and all things related to entertaining and spending time with family. They have also started carrying several lines of jewelry.
There are several ways to shop local. One is to buy items directly from local makers and another is to purchase items from local proprietors. Charlie, Bob, and Reid Plummer are three generations of just about as local as it gets. Today, the store is located on Battleground Avenue, near Cook-Out and Omega Sports. If you celebrate Christmas, you are probably well aware that there are only five shopping days until Christmas- if you count today!
That's quite a holiday display!
