(File photo) Myra and James McDuffie, owners of MeMa’s Chick n & Ribs in Burgaw, celebrated the official launch of their fundraising campaign in partnership with Genesis Block and Folla Capital, and Hipp Architecture & Development, last week.
The event, hosted by Genesis Block, kicked off a community funding campaign for the multi-million dollar development of The Creek Shopping Center, which will be located along N.C. 53 in Pender County.
The center’s first building will house MeMa’s new location, which is planned to include three event spaces, an outdoor dining area, a commissary kitchen and manufacturing facility for the company’s signature barbecue sauce, and a retail store featuring MeMa’s and other locally made products.
