WRAY AND Pearl Henderson have owned and operated the Cozy Corners in Williamsfield for more than 30 years. Wray, 85, decided to retire from the store and close it as of Jan. 19, but their daughter and grand-daughter have agreed to operate it while they try to find a buyer for the convenience store and deli.

Well-earned snooze
85-year-old Williamsfield store owner snoozes into long-overdue retirement

Despite the long hours and challenges, both Wray and Pearl say the little business treated them well.
“It’s been a good living,” Pearl says.
Wray says he’s enjoyed the first five days of his second effort at retirement.
“I’ve been snoozing,” he says.
Wray and Pearl know the arrangement with their daughter is just a temporary fix; she’s uninterested in a long-term commitment. They hope a buyer will come along in the interim. Meanwhile, Wray has plans.
“I intend to go South just as soon as I get my things in line,” he says.
Will he look for another store to run in South Carolina?
