A littlel more history;

In 1905, at the age of 6, Mr. B. Lloyd Woodall helped his father plant pecan trees. Twenty-five years later, using pecans from the trees he helped plant, Mr. "B. Lloyd" built his first pecan store near Barnesville, Georgia.

From this modest beginning, the business expanded rapidly. At one point shortly before World War II, Mr. B. Lloyd was operating 14 stores in the Southeast. Signs reading "B. Lloyd's" were seen up and down Southern highways like US 41 and US 301.

In 1939, a booth at the World's Fair in New York introduced B. Lloyd's products to millions. Shipments were made to points all over the United States and to servicemen and women overseas.

In 2002 Heeth Varnedoe, a Thomasville native, and Douglas R. Wedding, from St. Petersburg, Florida, purchased the company. Since then, Varnedoe and Wedding have rapidly expanded production and introduced new products into grocery store shelves, including B. Lloyd's glazed nut salad toppers and ice cream toppers.

We stopped at a Horne's restaurant somewhere north of Jacksonville, Fl. in Callahan when I was a kid and they had a Mynah bird. I can't remember if he was for sale. He'd say "I like this place."
