45th Anniversary Celebration
Stripling’s is invited folks to join them Saturday, at Stripling’s General Store on Ga. Highway 300 in Cordele. where they will host “a good ol’ southern barbecue” as part of their 45th anniversary celebration. It all started in 1964, when James Stripling had one thing on his mind and that was making sausage to share with his family and friends. It didn’t take long for word to spread and Stripling’s Sausage Kitchen was put on the map. That was 45 years ago and not much has changed at least not as far as that famous sausage is concerned.

Ricky’s uncle James had the recipe, and we have not changed it in over 45 years.”

Though there are many individuals in the world — and especially South Georgia — who proudly claim that they make their own sausage, for most the activity is a hobby or a diversion when time permits. For others, such as the owners of Stripling’s General Store, it’s a profession and even a calling. That’s likely why Stripling’s, a Cordelearea based family enterprise, is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year. That milestone is of interest for many reasons, not least of which is that Stripling’s churns out more than 300,000 pounds of sausage per year! Sausage was its original product and continues to be a signature item. It is the cornerstone of what is a flourishing business that now encompasses two retail operations in the Cordele area and, more recently, a USDA-inspected production facility in Moultrie. The success of Stripling’s business can be attributed to many key factors: A recipe that has not changed since 1964; a committed, entrepreneurial-minded family who all are willing to roll up their sleeves and jump into whatever tasks need tackling; and, of course, a supportive customer base whose addresses span from nearby South Georgia to mail-order fans scattered throughout the country, and even to American troops stationed Iraq and Afghanistan.
