Thurman opened the first Scivally’s Grocery on East Highway 82 in Gainesville in 1958. His store was known for wonderful meat, great service and credit back in the day before credit cards. His son Dale Scivally now runs this store. In 1987 Thurman purchased the second Scivally Grocery on California Street and managed it until his health failed some six years ago. Thurman was one of five sons born to Ethel and M.C. Scivally.
