John Parker: Reviving a Legacy

As the son of a restaurateur and a former student of EMSDC’s REAL Entrepreneurship class, John Parker has first-hand knowledge of the challenges and benefits of entrepreneurship. With this knowledge, John Parker would take steps to revitalize the old charm of his family’s former restaurant “Guy Parker’s Barbeque”, a restaurant owned and operated by Guy Parker for over 40 years. In those 40 years the restaurant had become famous in the Goldsboro community. It was known for its dedication to using natural local products, but more so for Guy Parker’s role in breaking racial barriers in Goldsboro by establishing the town’s first integrated restaurant. At Guy’s everyone was welcomed through the front door and treated as respected customers regardless of race.

After completing the REAL Entrepreneurship class and further consultation with EGN staff, John decide against reopening Guy Parker’s Barbecue but instead reviving the famous sauce once served in the restaurant. After several attempts he was able to perfect the sauce. It is now known as, “Guy Parker’s Old Fashioned Barbecue Sauce and Marinade”. John’s first sales were made from the trunk of his car but it was not long before he was able to get his sauce placed on the shelves of local grocery stores.
