(AJC) — Jackie Kenlaw is a convenience store operator by default.
Kenlaw, whose Sugar Hill-based company, Premier Developments, operates Community Markets in three northeast Georgia communities, is in the business of building convenience stores on spec. But when he was unable to find a buyer for the stores after the bottom fell out of the economy in late 2008, he became the boss of the operation.
“People were only looking to pick up a store at a great bargain,” he said.
