Ribbon Cuttings


Wendy's


Several months ago the Wendy's on Memorial Drive disappeared. Not exactly. The old Wendy's was demolished (only the metal posts to hold the sign remained) to make way for a new Wendy's. Under the same ownership and an investment of over $1 million, the new Wendy's opened featuring a bold, sleek, ultra-modern design to greatly enhance the customer experience including lounge seating with fireplaces, flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi and digital menu boards. Wendy's has over 6,000 locations and only 100 locations have been selected for this new design. Your favorite items still are on the menu but a bakery has been added featuring cookies, brownies and a cinna middle that is incredible if you like cinnamon rolls.




LJA Builders Incorporated


When you need a high quality construction service, you should go for LJA Builders located at 817 Augusta Avenue. LJA was created in 1995 and because of their professional approach and unmatched customer care, their business is thriving. LJA offers a wide range of building services. Even though their focus is on residential projects, they always welcome commercial clients, as well. LJA works closely with our customers and gets the job completed in a timely and efficient manner.




The First Southern Bank


The Patterson Bank is now The First Southern Bank and continues to provide banking services from its three locations in Waycross (930 Memorial Drive), Patterson (6365 Highway 84) and Jesup (927 South First Street). William E. Hughes, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, reminded the crowd at the ribbon cutting the bank will remain one of the oldest banks in south Georgia retaining its original charter issued in 1907.
