The Maynors and Jamestown #2
rciuDfOKC uUS01 CSS Cunini Hill ly fta ulCy
opened last Thursday without fanfare to
"work out all the problems, get
organized and set up properly" before
holding their Grand Opening September
21. 1983.
Jamestown Food Store, now open for
business on Union Chapel Road is an
exciting business adventure by the
Maynors, led by James C. Maynor, one
of the most interesting individuals this
writer has met in many years.
James C(arlie) Maynor's whole life is
wrapped up in his children and all of his
children are involved intimately with the
varied business interests of the family.
For instance, James "Bonk" Maynor,
33, is the overall manager of the
operations of the family, including
Jamestown #2 Foods to re now open on
Union Chapel Road in Pembroke.
"Bonk" Maynor and his tether are
ably assisted by twin sisters Linda
Maynor Locklear and Brenda Maynor
Jones, 29. Linda does all the grocery
buying and Brenda manages the day care
center (Jamestown Daycare Center) as
their principal duties although both work
where needed as all members of the
family do.
Randy, 27, devotes most of his
energies to the cafeteria, a catering
service and the meat room of the two
grocery stores. Carson, the youngest
Maynor sibling, 24, runs the trailer park
(Jamestown Trailer Park) and works at
Jamestown Grocery Store on highway 72
near Converse. Another brother, Ronald,
was killed in an unfortunate car accident
in 1973.
When asked his duties Mr. Maynor
said, "I wash dishes, cook at the
restaurant and do whatever needs to be
done." He dotes on his children and
credits them with all his success calling,
for instance, "Bonk" the oldest, "a
genius with figures. And the manager of
it all..."
Mr. Maynor said, in a recent inter
view, that "my children own as much of
business afc* do. And we never do
anything of importance until we all sit
down and talk about it. I want them (the
children) to know everything about the
business because it's going to all be left
to them and 1 want to teach them as
much as I can and enjoy the business
with them now while I'm alive and in
good health."
Mr. Maynor says, "I want my children
to think big...not be big headed."
A lot of people in the Pembroke area
and elsewhere know the Maynors by
Jamestown Restaurant (formerly Ran
dy's) on Highway 72 where many
families go to eat, especially after church
on Sunday. The father, James C. Maynor
seems to enjoy the cooking and meeting
people most of all.
The Maynors make friends better than
anything else. For instance, Mr. Pete
Covington, a friend they met in the
grocery business, helped them design
their 10,500 square foot store "without
cost," simply because he wanted to help
them.
The new store is expected to hire 8 full
time employees and 9 part time when it
begins to operate at full capacity in the
very near future. And when one goes to
work for the Maynors they seldom leave.
A classic example is Mrs. Sarah
Sampson who has cooked for the
Maynors at Jamestown Restaurant for
the last ten year.
The Maynors also plan to develop the 3
acre tract that Jamestown Food Store Wl
is located on on Union Chapel Road. A
bakery is also under construction, with
other businesses being considered.
The Maynor children also give their
mother, Mrs. Lucy Maynor, high marks
for nurturing and loving them. Although
separated from Mr. Maynor, she lives
nearby and remains an integral part of
the family. She is lovingly cared for by
her family.
The Maynors truly are a close knit
family, caring for one another and their
community. Patriarch Maynor says, "If
we know someone is hungry we'll feed .
them., whether they have mon^y
hot."
And hunger has a lot to do with the
Maynors being in the "food" business.
Mr. Maynor remembers being hungry as
a child. "We were tenant farmers, me
and my sisters and my mother...well not
tenant farmers exactly. We farmed for
the tenant farmer...like half of his half.
And we were always hungry. 1 vowed
when I grew up that I would not be
hungry." And that is what has motivated
him, starting with a little convenience
store on Highway 74, then a restaurant.
Mr. Maynor likes to be around food.
The Maynors are wfell thought of in
their community, taking food to bereaved
families, supporting the Mt. Airy
Jaycees and other worthwhile causes.
And the Maynors are excited about
coming to Pembroke. And Pembroke is
excited about having them as members
of the business community.
' Town Manager McDuffie Cummings
says, "Pembroke is booming, growing,
offering more and more to our citizens
.tnd the Maynors bring their good name
ijwl business acumen with them...we're
honored to have Jamestown Foodstore W2
in Pembroke."
James "Bonk" Maynor gives high
marts to Pembroke and her officials and
citizenry. "Establishing a food store in
Pembroke is something we've wanted to
do for a long time since we have many,
many Pembroke friends who shop with
us at our store on Highway 72 and eat
with us regularly."
Maynor continues, "Pembroke has
been helpful and encouraging, and we
believe we'll be good neighbors. We'll
sure going to try our best."
Store Manager is Harvey Godwin, Jr.
and store hours are Monday through
Saturday-8 a.m. to 9 p.m. And the store
will be open on Sundays 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Grand opening activities are planned
for September 21. Watch for them.
The Maynors invite you to shop with
them. And they promise reasonable
prices and good service, something the
public has come 'to expect from the
remarkable Maynor family.
