GENERAL STORE TO SUPERMARKET WITH DELI
BAKERY - Jackson's IGA began as a general store in
; 1943. The general store opened with less than a third of
? the space in today's Jackson's IGA and the original
building was located in the parking lot of today's
Kenansville store. Operation of the IGA began with Leo
Jackson and is under the management of his son. Jimmy,
today. Since 1976 two new stores h^ve been added, a
Jackson's IGA in Pink Hill and in Beulaville. and a deli
bakery was opened in May at the Kenansville super
market. Jimmy and his wife Frances Jackson are pictured
above in the new deli-bakery of the Kenansville
supermarket.

? Pizza Restaurant Opens In Mount Olive
By Emily Killette
Duplin native Mary Nobles
has turned the old IGA
building on Highway 117,
business, into the first pizza
restaurant located in Mount
Olive. Pizza Village opened
? May 18.
? Pizza Village held their
grand opening last Wednes
day with a ribbon-cutting
ceremony. The restaurant
employs 22 people and
serves an Italian cuisine in
cluding subs and sand
wiches, proprietor Mary
Nobles said.
"We did a lot of scouting
around before picking Mount
^ Olive in which to open the
Pizza Village." Mary Nobles
and husband Bill said. "And.
we were even advised
against opening in Mount
Olive because the town is
dry. But, we were interested
in a more family-type busi
ness. and so far business has
been good." In the past,
Mary worked with Faircloth
Construction Company as
office manager, first in the
Jacksonville branch and then
transferred to the Beulaville
office. The Nobles reside in
Chinquapin. And, Mary
Nobles, restaurant owner,
pointed out the interior of the
business had been re
modeled using Itimber in an
87-year-old house from the
Chinquapin area.
"We designed the interior
and drew up a set of plans to
work from one night while
sitting at the kitchen table,"
Mary Nobles said. "And. we
know each board in this
restaurant; my family has
touched each one of them."
The Nobles, along with their
daughter and son-in-law.
tore down an old house
outside of Chinquapin and
prepared the lumber for use
in remodeling the former
IGA supermarket into the
Pizza Village. Duplin car
penters Larry Smith and
Jessie Whaley constructed
the interior using plans
drawn by the Nobles.
"The interior is not fin
ished as we had planned, but
is at a stand-still until the
outside has been remodeled
into a rustic look matching
the interior." Nobles said.
"In the future we want to
make the bi.otos into minia
lure representations of dif
ferent businesses."
The Pizza Village is open
Monday through Thursday
11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and
Saturday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
and Sunday S to9 p.m.

Jackson'S IGA Begins
As General Store
Dry beans sold loose from
50-pound bags and molasses
was pumped from a barrel
along with dry goods and
hardware filled the general
store opened by Leo Jackson
in 1943, known today as
Jackson's IGA in Kenans
ville.
"My father operated the
store until 1971," Jimmy
Jackson, owner of Jackson's
IGA in Kenansville, said.
"The original building was
located where the parking
lot is now and there was only
3,500 square feet in the
general store. My father
bought many of the grocery
supplies from Quinn Whole
sale in Warsaw and N & W
Grocery of Wallace."
Today, Jackson's in
Kenansville has 14,000
square feet and two addi
tional IGA supermarkets
have been opened in neigh
boring towns. The first new
supermarket was opened in
Pink Hill during 1976 and the
following year Jackson's
opened its third store in
Beulaville. Today grocery
supplies are purchased from
Quinn Company of Warsaw
and N & W Grocery of
Wallace, Jackson said.
"When my father first
opened his store, there was a
chicken coop in back," Jack
son said. "And, when some
one wanted a fresh chicken,
he took home a live chicken
from the coop out back. We
also did a lot of trading for
food products with the local
people. Eggs came from local
farmers and things like dry
beans and molasses were
sold from bulk containers.
You dipped dry beans from a
50-pound bag and pumped
molasses from a 50-gallon
barrel. Today things are
more convenient and cleaner
because food is pre-packaged
in family-size portions."
However, Jackson pointed
out, the challenges he fact
are the same as those his
father met in the general
store. Supply and demond,
Jackson said, is the biggest
challenge of the supermarket
business, along with
problems with refrigeration
and storage.
"The challenge of grocery
business is trying to guess
what people will buy and the
quantities they will buy,"
Jackson said. "1 get a great
deal of satisfaction from
serving the public and we
like to offer the public a wide
range of different things to
eat. And, that is one of the
reasons why we opened the
deli-bakery." The deli
opened in May and held its
grand opening last week in
the Kenansville Jackson's
1GA. Within the deli-bakery
are fresh-baked breads and
desserts as well as take-out
foods and complete meals.
Opera.ing the deli-bakery at
Jackson's are George and
Betty Myrick of Pink Hill.
Through the years, Jack
son has watched the price of
food products increase and
the methods of packaging
and distribution improve. He
has worked two years as a
business instructor at James
Sprunt Technical College and
six months with the Depart
ment of Transportation, but
returned to operate the
supermarket.
"It must be something in
my blood." Jackson said. "I
was never satisfied at any
other job. So, I came back to
the supermarket where I
work 60 to 70 hours a week
and have been happy since.
And, 1 feel good about the
price of food when you
compare it to everything else
like gas or electric power.
Groceries have gone up con
siderably but not in pro
portion to other things."
Jackson is a graduate of
Campbell College with a
bachelor's degree in busi
ness administration. He is
married to Frances Stroud
Jackson and they have three
children, Betsy, Michelle
and David.
