The story of our small family owned business starts in an unlikely place. It starts in a small schoolhouse in Sweden where a little boy had a dream about coming to America and living the American dream. Fast forward to 1998 when that dream became a reality, and our owners, Tommy and Pia Thystrup moved to the states with two young girls and a third on the way. With hardwork and perseverance, the dream took new form when Tommy and Pia bought a struggling Carolina Town and Country in Sanford, North Carolina in October of 2004. Times where tough, but with the help of their girls who started working in the store after school and on weekends, the faltering business soon turned around. More employees had to be hired and they became family too. Today, Carolina Town and Country may have grown in size, but we still pride ourselves in keeping that tightknit family feel, with a friendly, knowledgeable staff who is always ready to help you in any way they can!
