Second Street Sundries, owned by GHA Autism Supports, opened on January 19, 2015 with a mission to provide employment opportunities for the individuals with autism that the non-profit agency currently serves. The café and coffee shop serves a wide variety of moderately priced food items for dine-in or carry out and participates in the We Proudly Serve Starbucks program. The agreement allows the establishment to serve a variety of Starbucks brand coffee products including brewed coffee and espresso beverages.

In 2014, the Board of Directors and leadership of GHA Autism Supports recognized a need to provide more employment opportunities to the individuals they serve to assist in meeting their maximum physical, social, emotional and intellectual potential. The agency purchased the vacant building at 221 North Second Street in downtown Albemarle which is conveniently located next door to the GHA Autism Supports central office operations. Second Street Sundries has been in operation since early 2015.
