Staying the Course:\u00a0<\/strong>Help From the SBDC Moves Downtown Store Forward<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"

Bill and Anne Anderson received assistance from the UGA SBDC at VSU to expand their downtown Valdosta business<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p><\/div>\n

As customers pass by the lawn mowers and wooden rocking chairs outside Anderson\u2019s Western Auto, they know when they enter through the glass doors that they will find a little bit of everything and a whole lot of friendly service.<\/p>\n

Harry B. Anderson, Sr., opened the store in Valdosta in 1939, and since that time it has remained in his family for nearly 80 years. In 1970, his oldest son, Harry \u2018Bucky\u2019 Anderson, Jr., began managing the store, and then sold it to his brother, Bill Anderson, in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started working after school and in the summers mostly stringing tennis rackets,\u201d Bill said. \u201cI worked many years with my brother Bucky and learned a lot about running a business, especially how to treat customers with respect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anderson\u2019s Western Auto has become a landmark in downtown Valdosta, a place where multi-generations of customers have purchased a myriad of products from automotive supplies and tires to lawn equipment and household appliances, and much more. With the added benefit of being a True Value distributor, the store also sells an extensive line of hardware products.<\/p>\n

The diversity of products and services is what makes the store unique.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost auto stores don\u2019t sell hardware or appliances,\u201d Bill said. \u201cWe sell what our customers want, and over the years we have changed our inventory to fit their needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though the national Western Auto company is no longer in business, Bill said, \u201cEveryone knows us as the Western Auto store. Customers continue to come to us because they know we are going to have what they are looking for and treat them right.\u201d<\/p>\n

As one of the oldest family-owned businesses located in downtown Valdosta, Anderson\u2019s Western Auto has served multi-generations.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing downtown it is nice because it allows us to get to know our customers,\u201d he said. \u201cWe know them, and they know our family. We have customers that started coming with their parents or grandparents to the store.\u201d<\/p>\n

SBDC Guides Future Growth<\/strong><\/p>\n

After purchasing the store, Bill and his wife Anne, who helps manage the day-to-day operations, began looking for assistance in restructuring the store\u2019s accounting procedures and improving other business activities.<\/p>\n

The Andersons reached out to Lynn Bennett, area director of the University of Georgia Small Business (SBDC) at Valdosta State University (VSU), for help with moving their business to the next level of growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started calling around different places asking who could help and I kept hearing that I needed to call the SBDC,\u201d Anne said. \u201cI had heard of the SBDC but wasn\u2019t sure how they could help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lynn Bennett<\/p><\/div>\n

Bennett said the Andersons were in transition, and though their store had been established for nearly eight decades, they needed help moving the business forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cI visited them at the store and spent time getting a good understanding of their business needs,\u201d said Bennett, who is now an accounting lecturer at VSU. \u201cBill and Anne realized there was a need to update the store\u2019s business processes. They wanted to stay and maintain their presence in downtown Valdosta, and they were willing to embrace change in technology and business processes.\u201d<\/p>\n

During a series of consulting sessions, Bennett provided training in the use of accounting software (QuickBooks) and guidance in human resource procedures including updating the store\u2019s employee handbook.<\/p>\n

Bennett said helping businesses like Anderson\u2019s Western Auto is a good example of the SBDC mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we talk about transforming a business,\u201d she said, \u201cAnderson\u2019s Western Auto already had a strong foundation, and Bill and Anne just needed some guidance. That is what the SBDC does every day for small businesses that are just starting or have been going for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bennett said she enjoyed working with the Andersons and appreciated their eagerness to make the needed changes within their business.<\/p>\n

\u201cI often tell clients to embrace change, especially new technology,\u201d Bennett said. \u201cIt is phenomenal to me that this business started nearly 80 years ago and it is still thriving today. They have maintained its legacy through continued family ownership.\u201d<\/p>\n

With 17 locations throughout Georgia, the SBDC\u2019s goal is to \u201cenhance the economic well-being of Georgians by providing a wide range of educational services for small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The SBDC provides confidential one-on-one business consulting at no charge; however, some services, such as classes, have a nominal fee. Services are available to both beginning entrepreneurs and experienced business owners looking to grow their business.<\/p>\n
