By Jeff Wilkinson Verified| South Carolina Living Magazine Verified April Matthews has been working at her family’s produce store in tiny Lake City since she was a toddler. Her grandfather Ross began operating Matthews Fruit Stand at the corner of North Acline and Sauls streets in 1963, selling snap beans, peanuts, watermelons and much more directly to people on the sidewalk. April has been a fixture there since she was old enough to walk. “I was helping unload trucks when I was 4,” she says. Ross Matthews passed away in 2016, and April now runs the business.
