Economy -
12/5/2015I would NOT say Kernersville is on the economic downturn. We have lived here for 22 years and in this time frame the town has changed tremendously with added grocery stores, car dealerships, and many chain stores such as Staples, Kohl's, Target, Walmart, Maurices, Kay Jewelers, Ellis Jewelers, four Subways, Hallmark Gifts, Verizon, Radio Shack, Aldi's, five large grocery stores, and 4-5 well known drug stores.In addition there are MANY smaller stores that offer gift items, clothing, furniture, art and framing, car repair and parts for sale, and many other interesting items. The medical facilities have grown tremendously and Kernersville has it's own hospital. Many residents do travel to nearby Greensboro and Winston Salem for employment but many stay in Kernersville as well and work in retail, sales, the medical field, teaching, construction, and service jobs.
