YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. – Eight Young Harris College students participated in a focus group on Wednesday, July 16, led by Tony Stewart, store manager for the new Wal-Mart store set to open in August in Union County. Stewart met with the group of students on campus to discuss needs and special requests for items that the students would like to see Wal-Mart stock for their residence hall rooms.
