Abstract:

David Pender, a Tarboro native, founded Colonial Stores, Inc. almost seventy-five years ago. The original stores operated under the Pender and D-P names and were among the first to introduce the supermarket, as it is known today, to North Carolina. Today it is a 380-store chain with annual sales exceeding $827 million.
