By Bill Larson | November 19, 2010 |

Pedigo Harward has been a fixture in Clarksville since 1963 when it was founded in the shopping plaza where Wortham’s Food Town was located on Madison Street. Originally founded by William Pedigo, it is currently owned by Stacy Salyer. She first started working at the store in 1984. Three years later she purchased the business on April Fools Day in 1987. In January 2003 it moved to its current location just down from Kroger’s on Madison Street. «Read the rest of this article»
