JENNINGS/Sawyer

 by Deb (Pelletier) Tajmajer

 

 

Edward and Madeline (Sawyer) Jennings’ restaurant was located on Pritham Avenue in Greenville, Maine. The name of the business was Jennings Lunch as denoted on the post card, circa 1938. It was later used as a grocery store as well as a restaurant. It was equipped with a soda fountain. Jennings sold fresh meat along with Madeline’s homemade pies and famous donuts. Many a time their eldest daughter, Beverly, was the one who hauled the pies to the restaurant with a little red wagon or sled from their home on Main Street. Sometimes she would get caught up in the snow. At his business, Edward often took delight in taking an opposing viewpoint when talking with his customers. After Edward’s death in 1951, it was sold and renamed Jamison’s Market. The building still stands today as Jamo’s.
