Shallotte’s R.D. White and Sons is purported as the oldest continuously operating business in Brunswick County. It touts a business ownership that began more than a century ago and is now into the fifth generation of the White family. Evidence of the company’s longstanding place in Shallotte is in the company’s records, which reflects surnames of customers whose descendants still do business with this company.
