ABRAMS grew out of my desire to own and manage a family restaurant in Edgecombe County where I was born and reared. In 1974, my family and I had the opportunity to purchase a small restaurant in Tarboro serving southern cooked food. My son Jerry was amost 3 years old. Since that time, we now have Abrams Restaurants in Tarboro, Pinetops, and Wilson as well as an O'Henry's Restaurant in Tarboro, N. C.

We began catering in 1975 to small groups which soon became larger and larger groups. We still cater to small groups because they are the people who have made us what we are today and we are grateful to them so we will continue to serve them.

As we catered to groups, we soon learned they were interested in having entertainment for those attending so we began our Amusements Division
in 1984. Our catering and amusements operations are located in Tarboro, N. C. It is still a family owned and managed business. My wife, son, two sisters and sister- in-law all work with the company. My brother was part of the business until he recently retired.

We have many devoted, experienced and competent employees who have helped us to grow into one of the largest and most respected in the Southeast United States, catering mainly in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia but occasionally going to Rhode Island and Florida.
