Pop's Place owner thrives as Father's Day staple in Gloverville
Clarence P. Young, 83, known as Pop and owner of Pop's Place at the Eula Helen Street and S C 421 intersection, offers a mix of lawn mowers, grills, and odd goods. A Navy veteran and World War II survivor from Ocean View Beach, he began his business after multiple surgeries in 1996 and keeps a cluttered shop inside an 18 wheeler. Local residents remember his Gloverville and Howlandville roots and the origin of his nickname, earned when a flea market crowd asked him to be their pop due to his status as the oldest man there.
