Double Kwik Markets was founded in 1960 by Hogue and Verda Barnette. The first store was on Highway 23 in the Glamorgan section of Wise, Virginia. In 1970, Earl Wendell Barnette and Jerry Barnette purchased the business from Hogue and Verda, their parents. From 1970 to 1980, the one store was operated with Wendell, Jerry, and their families.
