| Interview with Cal Turner |
Speaker(s): Cal Turner, Tom McInally (interviewer) |
Description: Cal Turner, a lifelong United Methodist, is chairman of the Cal Turner Family Foundation and the retired Chairman and CEO of Dollar General Corporation. In this interview we hear his business philosophy and life theology. In 1939, Mr. Turner's father and grandfather began work as wholesalers of basic dry goods when they formed J.L. Turner & Son in Scottsville Kentucky. Third generation Cal Turner, Jr. joined the company in 1965 and became a director one year later. In 1968, the company changed its name to Dollar General Corporation and went public. Today there are more than 6300 Dollar General stores throughout the U.S. Cal Turner's strong faith in Jesus Christ is evident by his actions -- specifically, his long-standing dedication to the advancement of literacy and basic education programs. With big business scandal on the minds of so many, Cal Turner exemplified in his professional life, and now in retirement, what love for thy neighbor truly means.
