Mr. Blevins was in the grocery business for 36 years. Blevins Grocery which later became Piggly Wiggly had locations on Meridian Street, in Bailey Cove and Park City, TN. His years in the grocery business was as much a ministry as a business. He demonstrated a servants heart in his business and personal life.
