Wofford's Men's Wear to Close After 58 Years in Johnston
Henry Wofford, owner of Wofford's Men's Wear at 421 Calhoun St in Johnston, plans to close his shop at month end after 58 years in business. The Orangeburg native opened in 1946 post World War II service, weathering shifts to large impersonal stores, with Sen. Strom Thurmond once cited as a famous client. The building will house a financial services firm in September as Wofford, 84, retires to travel and visit the World War II Memorial. He reflects on family, loyalty, and small town institutions enduring change.
