A Decade Old, The Rusty Bucket Still a Downtown Apex StapleBy Cindy ShaeferCareyNews.com

Apex, NC – Hidden in a cabinet amid merchandise at The Rusty Bucket is a paper bag labeled “Riley’s candy.”

Riley was 3 when she accompanied her mother on a shopping trip and couldn’t decide on just one piece of candy. So shopkeeper Pam Thorpe promised to save the rest for the next time she visited.

Now a first-grader, Riley knows just where to find her special stash.
