Greenville Police brought in convenience store owners and managers from the Pitt Stop, Greenville One and Two Stop, and Superfresh Stores. All are local businesses situated in neighborhoods that are notorious for crime.

i drive down dickinson a few times a week. as i drove by yesterday and noticed that the "superfresh" store was boarded up, inside i was saying "ha!!! gotcha!!!" FINALLY after all these years, GPD notices that illegal activity is taking place there. it is about time!!! i think that the one behind j h rose should have been closed up a long time ago...it draws a bad crowd near a school. and by the way, YES, store owners can do something about people hanging outside of a business--it is called "call the police"--not a hard concept to grasp people!!!!
