Hesters Store is located where several roads meet. These roads are Gordonton Road (State Road 1102), Hesters Store Road (State Road 1162), and Wilson Road (also State Road 1162).
The Name Hesters Store
The community of Hesters Store got its name from an old country store. This store stood near the main road intersection for over 100 years. It was a central spot for people living nearby.
From Store to Fire Station
The last building that housed the country store changed its purpose in 1994. It was turned into a fire station. This station is now known as the Hesters Store station. It is part of the Hurdle Mills Volunteer Fire Department. This shows how the community has grown and changed over time.
