The story of Yates Home PRO begins long before the terms “big box stores” or “chain retailers” were ever heard. In 1967, Bob Yates had an idea about opening a small “one-stop-shop” for his community. Although Bob was a rural mail carrier, he knew he had the support and help of his family to bring his idea to life. On July 4, 1967, Yates Home Store was opened. While Bob continued to run his daily mail route, his family stepped in to run the business. His wife, Myrtle, son Harkey and daughter Overia worked each day, often after school, to help the business grow. At the end of his mail route each day, Bob would start his shift at the store. The store opened each morning at 7:30am and remained open until midnight; 6 days a week. On Sunday, the store opened after church services were complete and closed at 6:00pm.
