Abstract:
Although he is in competition with fast-food giants like Hardees and Bojangles, Maurice Jennings has built Biscuitville into a $30 million business since it began in 1975. The company does not do giant franchises. Nor has it gone nationwide; all but five of the stores are within an hour's drive of the headquarters in Winston-Salem. Biscuitville sticks close to its biscuit theme and cuts out a dinner by closing at 2 p.m. Staying with these approaches has kept the company in dough.

Abstract:
The Do Drop In was established in 1947 in Winterville, North Carolina, by Wilbur Hardee. A year later he opened another restaurant at Port Terminal, near Greenville, and in 1954, Hardee purchased a building in Greenville known as the Three Steers. At a McDonald's Fast Food restaurant in Greensboro, North Carolina, Hardee noticed that their hamburgers were grilled and thought charcoaled hamburgers would be better. To prepare hamburgers this way, he opened the original Wilbur Hardee Restaurant in Greenville in 1960. Hardee sold out to Jim Gardner the same year and by 1986 there were more than 1,500 Hardees in the southeast.

Suddenly, food was fast, and what quicker way to feed the masses than burgers fresh off the grill? From these first thin patties to the elaborate gourmet burgers of today, North Carolina has spent the past 80 years making burger history"
