GARDNER’S BARBEQUE SOUTHERN BUFFET & CATERING
T
he story of Gardner’s begins with James Gardner who founded Gardner’s Dairy in 1935 and sparked a passion in his sons pursuing careers in the food industry. One of the sons, Jim Gardner (Former Lt Governor), founded Gardner’s Barbecue in his hometown of Rocky Mount. The Gardner’s Barbecue Chain is now on the third generation of Gardners and is part of the fabric of this great city. Gardner’s success is firmly built on our community. Our staff is long tenured and we take pride in each team member reaching their full potential. All of our management has been promoted from within the company which we believe builds a firm foundation for success. We steadfastly support locally made NC products and businesses and want to continue to see our beloved city of Rocky Mount grow. From all of us at Gardner’s, we are thankful for your continued support throughout the years and we hope to see you for many more.

S
ince the 1920’s, Joyner’s Funeral Home has been serving families. We are proud to remain a family owned and independent funeral home with a professional staff available 24 hours a day. In 1920, Jesse James Amerson and his partners began the Wilson Furniture Store, located in the 100 block of Goldsboro Street. At that time, most funerals were conducted in the home and burial followed in a family cemetery. The main need for the families was a place to purchase the casket and someone to help direct the funeral service. Mr. Amerson eventually bought his partners out and joined W. Boswell and A.E. Bishop to form the Amerson-Boswell Furniture Company. The business was located at the corner of Tarboro and Barnes Streets. The company flourished until 1933 when Mr. Amerson was killed in a car accident. His daughter and son-in-law, Catherine Amerson Joyner and Joseph Clinton Joyner, purchased the business from the remaining heirs and partners. They moved the business to 107 Pine Street and soon after changed the name to Joyner’s Funeral Home. In 1949 Joseph I. (Joe) Joyner began working with his father. In 1965, he became president and his wife, Annie Thorne Joyner, became secretary-treasurer. On August 1, 1966, the Joyner’s opened the doors to their new facility at 726 Tarboro Street, currently Hamilton Funeral Home. In 1955, Joseph I. (Dell) Joyner Jr. became president. On July 15, 1997, Joyner’s moved into it’s new location at 4100 Raleigh Road Parkway. The new facility allows Joyner’s and its staff to focus on the most important thing for their families and business partners, service!
Joseph Iredell “Dell” Joyner Jr. Dell is the owner of Joyner’s Funeral Home. He worked alongside his father and grandfather since he could walk. As Dell reflects back on the proud history of Joyner’s Funeral Home, he takes this time to thank everyone who contributed to keeping the business family-owned and independent all these years. Joyner’s Funeral Home is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year as Dell and his staff continue to serve this great community and surrounding areas during their time of grief. Proudly serving Wilson and surrounding counties for four generations!

made the same way since 1975
“It’s good on everything except banana pudding.” Anyone who knew George Stallings probably heard him make that claim, when boasting about the sauce that bears his name. George and his brother Ed invented the recipe for George’s in 1975. For years, the brothers had been treating friends and relatives to their famous barbecue sauce that they developed in George’s home kitchen…some of their first batches were cooked in a dirt floor garage! By the mid 1980’s, their sauce production had grown into a real business. For years, Beth Chappell made weekly trips to see the Stallings brothers, each time buying a gallon of her family’s favorite sauce. “Every time we’d stop by, they would ask if we wanted to buy the business,” said Beth. “I didn’t know anything about running a sauce business. But I sure knew that what George said was true: ‘It’s good on everything except banana pudding.’” Beth and her husband Tim purchased the business in 1992, and expanded production in the family’s hometown of Nashville. Under Beth’s ownership and vision, George’s grew into one of the most
sought-after barbecue sauces in the Carolinas! In 2006, Ashley Chappell Hassell joined the family business as its office manager and marketing director. She took great pride in learning the business from top to bottom. Ashley took over day-to-day operations of George’s in 2012, and later purchased the family business in 2017. In 2018, Brian Hassell took a leap of faith and joined his wife, Ashley, at the family business. The Hassells plan to grow the George’s brand, while keeping the focus on delivering a high quality product - still proudly by hand, in small batches in Nashville, North Carolina.

See your local participating Seller for a list of eligible homes. Eligible homes will vary by Seller. Buyer may select one or more buyer incentives in the following maximum amounts: $2,000 with the purchase of a single-section home, $4,000 with the purchase of a double-section home; and $8,000 with the purchase of a triple-section home (each the “Incentive”). Home must be purchased at the posted home only retail sales price to be eligible for the maximum available incentive. Actual value of buyer Incentive will vary based on the number of sections comprising the home purchased, actual total value of buyer Incentive not to exceed $8,000. Buyer Incentive will be applied by the Seller, at buyer’s choice, to one, or any combination of two or three, of the following three forms: (i) a prepaid VISA® debit card (debit card option limited to a maximum of $2,000); (ii) Seller paid closing costs (excluding Seller paid discount points that are not required by a lender); or (iii) a reduction in the total sales price of the home package, consisting of the home purchased plus all other items included in the sale (collectively the “Incentive Options”). If the posted home only retail sales price of the home is reduced by the Seller either through negotiation with the buyer, or as a result of the underwriting requirements of the lender selected by the buyer, or if the Seller is required by the lender selected by the buyer to pay discount points or any other fees and charges, the Incentive will be applied first to the amount of the negotiated or lender required reduction of the home sales price (Incentive Option (iii)) and then to the lender required Seller paid discount points, fees and charges. Any remaining Incentive will be applied at buyer’s choice to one or more of the Incentive Options. Under no circumstances will any portion of the buyer Incentive be applied toward buyer’s down payment if buyer obtains financing for the home purchase from any lender of buyer’s choice. Buyer is solely responsible for paying the entire amount of any down payment. If buyer selects the VISA debit card, buyer will be subject to all terms and conditions set forth on the card, including the expiration date, and also to all terms and conditions set forth in the issuer’s cardholder agreement. The VISA debit card will be issued in the name of the primary buyer by MetaBank® pursuant to a license from VISA U.S.A. Seller will deliver the VISA debit card to buyer either in person or by mail within 4-6 weeks after the home purchase has been completed and all conditions of the sale have been satisfied. Buyer may not combine the Program with any other offer or promotion offered by Seller. The Program may not be available with USDA/FHA/VA financing, and may be subject to certain lender requirements that restrict the forms of buyer incentives that Seller can provide. The Program is void where prohibited, but only to the extent prohibited.
