Hardee’s of Sunset Avenue; Rocky Mount, NC

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our colleague, friend and company co-founder Nick Boddie who passed away at age 84 on Dec. 2, 2011. Our thoughts and our prayers are with Nick’s family and the many others who have been touched by and will miss this exceptional man. We will remember Nick for his vision and many contributions, without whom our company would not be what it is today. Nick truly embodied the spirit behind our company’s commitment to “We Believe in People.”

A special edition of the Enterpriser honoring and celebrating the life and journey of Nick is forthcoming.

“Hardee’s continued success is due in large part to the hard

work and dedication of our franchisees,” said Michael Murphy,

President and Chief Legal Officer of CKE Restaurants, Inc. “All

of our franchise award winners share Hardee’s commitment

to providing guests with the best food, service and dining

experience in the industry. It is a pleasure to have them on the

Hardee’s team. It is our hope that all of our owners and operators

are inspired and motivated by these great achievements and will

continue to help lead us to a successful 2011 and beyond.”

Each year Hardee’s Food Systems awards the Restaurant Operational Excellence Award to Hardee’s franchise restaurant locations across the U.S. for outstanding performance over the past year. In 2011, Hardee’s presented twelve Operational Excellence Awards (for 2010) with BNE Hardee’s capturing nine of the twelve awards! The Operational Excellence Award is based on three specific guidelines: an individual restaurant’s performance in quality assurance audits, its score on an operational assessment and no more than one guest complaint per period.

Hardee’s Food Systems began recognizing restaurants with the

Operational Excellence Awards beginning in 2004. In the past four

years, BNE Hardee’s were recognized with their fair share of the

awards. In 2008 they were awarded eight of the 12 awards given,

in 2009 they received seven of ten, and in 2010 they received nine

of twelve awards!

Congratulations to the following Hardee’s for this achievement

in excellence:

“We’re extremely proud of these Hardee’s locations that

received this award because they are top achievers,” said

Terry Lewis, Vice President of Operations for Boddie-Noell’s

Hardee’s restaurant division. “These awards serve as

validation of the hard work, teamwork and commitment that

are present every day in these restaurants.”

We congratulate each of these Boddie-Noell Hardee’s, those

recognized this year and those from previous years for this

outstanding achievement. We are proud of you all! v

– Terry Lewis

“Being named an Operations Excellence winner is no easy feat. In fact, less than 1 percent of all the restaurants within the entire Hardee’s system achieve this distention.”

BNE Hardee’s Raise Over $130,000 for Service Members

BNE Hardee’s, along with other Hardee’s across the United States, sold “Stars for Troops” in May 2011 to raise money for chari-ties benefiting members of the United States armed forces. During this three-week cam-paign, BNE restaurants raised over $130,000. Ninety-seven of our Hardee’s raised at least $500, and one restaurant raised over $2,500!

Guests were asked to donate $1, and in exchange received coupons for their future visits to Hardee’s. Stars with customers’ names decorated Hardee’s restaurants, showing their support for the troops.

Proceeds benefited Homes for Our Troops, USA Cares and certain regional veterans and military groups with existing ties to Hardee’s restaurant communities. Homes for Our Troops assist severely injured veterans by raising money and coordinating the process of building a home specialized to their needs, allowing them to live more independently. USA Cares provides financial and advocacy assistance to active duty US military service personnel, veterans and their families, with a goal to help restore financial stability. v

Helping Out During Irene

Recently, Hurricane Irene affected the East Coast, including many of the communities where our Hardee’s restaurants are located. Hardee’s of Wilson, North Carolina, gave back to its community by donating cheeseburgers and French fries to those staying at the American Red Cross shelter in Wilson after being evacuated from their homes during Hurricane Irene.

Gwen Nicholson-Jenkins, General Manager, says, “We just love helping the community. We feel like we are right at home in Wilson. Anything we can do to help our neighbors. It could have been us. We are just excited to help in any way we can.” Manager Jimmy Wilson added, “I’ve been down on my luck before. I like to give back. As a Christian, you just want to give blessings back.”

Thank you to Hardee’s of Wilson for helping their community during Hurricane Irene and “giving blessings back.” v

97 of our Hardee’s raised at least $500, and one restaurant raised over $2,500!

Back by popular demand is the Chicken Portabella Sandwich. Grilled chicken, portabella and field mushrooms, peppers, onions and cheese are served in a grilled baguette. Café Carolina has also brought back the popular Carrot Cake cupcake – a delicious carrot cake cupcake topped with cream cheese icing. For the chocoholics, Café Carolina has introduced the Chocolate Lover’s cupcake. This cupcake has six different kinds of chocolate – starting with chocolate layers with chocolate chips and a whipped chocolate filling, topped with chocolate ganache, whipped chocolate buttercream icing and shaved dark chocolate. This will satisfy any chocolate craving! v


It’s late in the day and the wind is picking up. Most people would be at least a little bit nervous at the prospect of rappelling 500 feet down 32 stories. But Brian Speight, of the Cameron Village Café Carolina simply wants to get this done, and get back to the store.

“I was glad to do this, but I actually missed my time at the store,” Brian laughs when describing his participation in Over the Edge. Now, that is dedication. Dedication and challenges are not new to this 25 year old, who has already served six years in the Marine Corp, including a deployment to Iraq, and currently is a full time student at NC State and also a full time employee of Boddie-Noell.

Brian is not the only one who geared up, and rappelled down for a good cause. Three other Café Carolina employees including Stacy Burke, of the Chapel Hill restaurant, Matthew Jonsdotter from the Cary restaurant, as well as Steve Zanella, a Senior General Manager with Café Carolina also rappelled the 500 feet down the Wachovia Building in downtown Raleigh in early October.

In Richmond, Virginia, Bill Boddie, Jr. also participated in Over the Edge. He scaled more than 400 feet down the 25-story SunTrust building. He said, “My first step over the edge was chilling to me. I said to myself ‘That’s

a long way down!’” He was also anxious looking down at the crowd below. However, Bill said that after taking the first step, he felt “relaxed and calm.”

Ron Hines, the Director of Operations for Café Carolina says that supporting the Special Olympics is part of the fabric of the company culture. “We are very proud of our commitment to Special Olympics. We have at least two special needs employees in each of our stores and several of them have been Special Olympics athletes,” Ron Hines says. Bill Boddie, Jr. added, “The cause for me being there is to support Special Olympics Virginia. I enjoyed the smiles on peoples’ faces once I rappelled down the SunTrust building.”

Boddie-Noell has been partners with Special Olympics Virginia for more than 30 years. Boddie-Noell and Hardee’s also partner in Special Olympics Virginia’s Training for Life Program, which employees persons with intellectual disabilities. v

Matt Killham from Moe’s of Christopher Newport University (CNU) in Newport News, VA, has proven that you can affect the world and help others as you work to be a major contributor in the success of a Moe’s restaurant. Matt started working

for Moe’s as a student at CNU and showed the leadership and work habits that enabled him to become a Shift Leader. After graduating from CNU, Matt’s Moe’s career ended, but only to pursue a career that will help others abroad.

“I accepted an English teaching position at a school in Bangkok,

Thailand. This teaching position will group me with Thai students

between the ages of 10-14, as I assist them with their English

reading, writing, and speaking.

I seek to empower the students with a skill that opens educational

and professional doors for them. The position will also present the

opportunity for me to live within a culture so foreign to my

own. I feel I have a lot to offer the students of Bangkok. In a

similar respect, I have a lot to learn from them.”

We want to recognize Matt not only for his contributions to Moe’s but his desire to make the world a better place. Good luck Matt! We wish you the best! v

New Taco Stacks Offer Serious Bang for Your BuckTHE NEW

TACO STACKSTACO STACKS AUGUST 1—October 9, 2011

The giant Homewrecker burrito at Moe’s South-west Grill finally has a worthy adversary: Moe’s new Taco Stacks. Weighing in just over one pound, this limited time offer features a variety of flavorful ingredients, including Moe’s famous Queso, stacked between two crunchy corn shells and wrapped in a crisped flour tortilla. As always, every meal is served with free chips and salsa.

Guests can choose from three delicious options - 100% grass-fed sirloin steak, grain-fed pulled

pork or all natural chicken. The Steak Taco Stack contains marinated steak, shredded cheese, grilled onions and mushrooms, fresh pico de gallo, sour cream and Moe’s famous Queso. The Pork Taco Stack has pulled pork, grilled onions, seasoned pinto beans, fresh pico de gallo, shredded cheese, and Moe’s famous Queso. The Chicken Taco Stack

has grilled chicken, seasoned pinto beans, fresh pico de gallo, shred-ded cheese, black olives, pickled jalapenos and Moe’s famous Queso. Everything is then stacked between two crunchy corn shells and wrapped in a crisped flour tortilla.

Knowing our signature Homewrecker burrito is the best-selling item on the menu; Moe’s believe our guests will embrace this product which has just as much to offer in terms of ingredi-ents, with the addition of Moe’s delicious Queso. v

Moe’s Goes Green with New Crew Apparel

Customers often judge a restaurant by its appearance, including the appearance of its employees. Although Moe’s believes in a comfortable and fun experience, we do not believe in showing up for work not ready to impress in a wrinkled or sloppy uniform. Moe’s new contrast-stitch uniform t-shirts and “Feed the Moement” caps were rolled out this fall. In

addition to being stylish, Moe’s new uniform shirt and hats are environmentally friendly. They are made from 95% recycled plastic bottles, making them more durable and longer wearing, with

better color retention. Moe’s new shirts and hats will save more than 2 million plastic bottles from landfills.

New Kent Winery’s 2009 Reserve Chardonnay has been awarded the 2011 Virginia Governor’s Cup for white wines, the top award given for wines grown in the state.

The Governor’s Cup was presented to New Kent Managing Partner Pete Johns and the winery’s winemaker, Tom Payette, by Gov. Bob McDonnell and First Lady Maureen McDonnell at ceremonies at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts where the winner was announced.

New Kent’s 2009 Chardonnay Reserve was judged best from among 162 wines entered from 52 wineries, representing all of the appellations (a geographical indication identifying where grapes for wine are grown) in the Commonwealth. The 30th annual Virginia Governor’s Cup competition for white wines was sponsored by the Virginia Wineries Association.

“I am humbled and honored to accept this award and do so with great pride,” said

Johns in accepting the award this week. “I acknowledge my partners in this winery, Boddie-Noell Enterprises, the wonderful New Kent Winery staff and our exceptional winemaker, Tom Payette. Tom’s expertise and magical touch has helped New Kent Winery establish itself as one of Virginia’s premier wineries.”

Johns and Payette have worked closely for more than eight years to establish vineyards for the Winery which opened publicly in 2008.“What a huge honor to be recognized for our 2009 Chardonnay Reserve,” said Payette. “It’s a privilege to work with such fine people at New Kent Winery and I am blessed to be able to do what I love to do - making wine, especially this beautiful Chardonnay.”Fermentation on the yeast lees (deposits of dead residual yeast) in small premium American oak barrels makes this well rounded creamy Virginia Reserve Chardonnay unique among other wines. Extremely youthful despite its vintage, New Kent Winery’s 2009 Reserve Chardonnay pairs beautifully with flavorful cheeses and all types of shellfish, veal, pork, poultry, seafood and cream sauce pasta dishes, according to Johns.

The Governor’s Cup for white wines was selected from seven Gold medalist wineries. A panel of 26 judges from five states judged the wines, which represent all of the appellations in the Commonwealth. The Virginia red wines were judged earlier this year and announced at the Virginia Wine Expo in February.

The Virginia Governor’s Cup Wine Competition has been held in Virginia since 1982. The competition is open to Virginia appellation wines and ciders that use 95 percent or greater fruit grown in Virginia. New Kent Winery is located in the heart of New Kent Vineyards, a multifaceted mixed-use planned community. In keeping with the rural setting of the county, the community has vineyards scattered throughout the project which serve as a buffer from the parkway that travels through the community.

Ministry in a Minute

The Marshes Light Marina held its grand opening celebration in June. The weather

was beautiful, and many boats were on display. Free sailing demonstrations were held, and the marina gave away the use of a boat slip for a year. The new Sales and Welcome Center at Marshes Light has also moved into the Marina.

Marshes Light also hosted the 2nd Annual Marshes Light Marina Superslam in October. Participants competed for prizes of up to $10,000 for tuna, dolphin, wahoo and king mackerel. This year’s tournament expanded from last year’s, which featured only a king mackerel tournament.

Marshes Light is a charming new home community located in the heart of historic Manteo, NC, located on Roanoke Island. Marshes Light is only a 5 minute walk down a scenic boardwalk to dining and shopping in downtown Manteo. It consists of thirteen single family home sites, two Marina Villa buildings, and a marina. Also planned for Marshes Light are three additional Marina Village buildings, flats above retail space, and two thirty-room inns. v


Marshes Light Grand Opening

God desires to have a deep and meaningful personal relationship with each of us. For some though, God is this mysterious voice behind some dark cloud who is disconnected or disinterested in our everyday lives. But God is so much more. His desire is to be intimately involved in every aspect of our lives. He wants to share in our excitement and take on our burdens. But He won’t force the issue. It must be voluntary on our part. So, if you want to know Him better, approach Him. Respond to His invitation. Take Him at His Word. Go to Him and open the door of your heart and invite Him in. Allow Him to give you a new heart. One filled with gentleness and humility.

What Working On The Enterpriser Has Meant To Me

I have learned so much about Boddie-Noell as a whole, not only the company, but the people that made Boddie-Noell what it is today. Not only have I learned about the history of the company, and where we came from, but I’ve learned about our

history of excellence. I’ve learned about where our tradition of giving back began, and how we truly do believe in people. Working on the Enterpriser has made me proud to a part of everything that BNE does.

BNE President and Chief Executive Officer, Bill Boddie, has agreed to serve as Honorary Chairman of the Rocky Mount community-wide fundraising campaign for the new Pediatric Emergency Care Center at Nash General Hospital. “We all know the importance of our own health and the need for a top-notch medical facility in our own community,” noted Bill. “That is why I have committed to accept the challenge and the opportunity to be the Honorary Chairman of the Capital Campaign for this much needed center.”

Boddie-Noell has been a very generous benefactor of Nash Health Care Foundation’s Golf classic, Patron’s Gala and the Capital Campaign. From August 2009 through October 2009 Bill was a key member of a Steering Committee to reorganize and rejuvenate the Nash Health Care Foundation. This Campaign marks the first major fundraising initiative for community support by Nash Health Care and its Foundation since Nash General Hospital opened in 1971. “Everybody knows the legacy of the Boddie family, especially by Nick and Mayo in community service and philanthropy,” stated Roger Taylor, General Chairman of the Capital Campaign. “It’s my privilege to team up with Bill Boddie and other business executives and community leaders to help our hospital and the children who receive care there.”

Loss Prevention & Safety

by Ted Polensky, Director of Loss Prevention, CFE

When viewing our historical data, it shows that we have made great progress reducing employee accidents almost every year. This does not happen by chance. It takes work. I personally believe it is the result of the ever increasing number of people committed to following the BNE Values and “Simply Doing What is Right.” Read the BNE Values below and consider how each one, when practiced daily impacts safety (and everything else) in our restaurants:

• Respect, which means being considerate of each individual, our communities and our environment.

• Honesty, which means being truthful at all times.• Trust, which means believing in others and fulfilling our

commitments.• Excellence, which means exceeding the “expected” in

all we do and continually seeking ways to improve our performance.

• Teamwork, which means enthusiastically working together to accomplish more.

• Diversity, which means valuing each individual for their unique contributions.

It’s not complicated, I believe our progress is the result of “Simply Doing What is Right!”

Thank you for all you have done and continue to do.

//////////////////////////////////////

I want to take the opportunity to express appreciation for all our restaurant leaders and teams do to make our restaurants the safest place possible for both employees and guests. Are we where we want to be? No. We have more to do, but let’s not forget to stop and celebrate our successes along the way.

Don’t let the “bad guys” ruin your holiday cheer

The holidays are a festive time of year. A time to give Thanksgiving for our great nation and to celebrate a Savior! But as the holiday season approaches, we should all pause to think about personal safety

and theft prevention. Unfortunately, the holiday time of year also has the highest crime rates. Don’t let CRIME spoil your holiday. Below are some powerful, yet simple strategies to make your holidays the joyful times they should be.

Personal Safety• When shopping, do so during daylight hours. If you

must shop at night, go with a friend or family member• If you must use an ATM, choose one that is located

inside a mall, or well lit location• Avoid carrying your checkbook, cash, and credit cards

together in one wallet and don’t flash money in public

• Keep car doors locked and windows closed• Park in a well lit area and avoid parking next to vans

or trucks where people can hide• When approaching your car, be alert of your

surroundings and have your keys ready in hand• At home, keep doors locked and be cautious of solicitors. If in doubt, don’t open the door

Theft Prevention• Don’t leave valuables in plain sight. Store away GPS,

MP3 players, or cell phones• Lock packages in your trunk or out of plain sight• When traveling, ask a neighbor to watch your home

and don’t forget to have mail and newspapers stopped

At Boddie-Noell we care about each and every person. Your personal safety and security are so vitally important. Remember, just a couple quick steps can make the difference. Happy Holidays!

Ted Polensky

Larry Williamson

An Open Letter of Acknowledgement | by Larry Williamson, Senior Director of Human Resources


“Don’t let CRIME spoil your holiday.”

Larry Corbett, manager of Rose Hill Farm and Rose Hill Sporting Clays, recently returned from trips to Texas and France as a world champion sporting clay shooter. Larry beat out 153 other

competitors, including a former Olympic gold medalist to place first in his age category at the 2011 World English Sporting Clays Championship in Texas.

This earned Larry, the captain of Team USA and an All-American, a trip to France to compete in the World FITASC (Federation Internationale de Tir Aux Sportives de Chasse) championships. Larry helped lead Team USA to a silver medal in this competition. He also had the opportunity to spend a day in Paris, where he visited the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower.

Larry, a 32 year employee of Rose Hill, describes himself

as an “old farm boy.” He received his first gun, a Daisy Red Ryder BB gun, at the age of 6. He grew up hunting and shooting, but now rarely hunts unless it is with his grandsons. In addition to his titles this year, Larry has won the North Carolina veterans championship 8 times, and was on the all-state team a record 13 years. When questioned about the secret to his success, he credited time, patience and practice, and said that the eyes are the most important thing in shooting. Larry shoots approximately 100 targets a week, but increases his weekly total to 200 to 300 targets before a major competition.

Larry is not the only champion sporting clay shooter in his family, though. His daughter, Laurie Oliver, is a 3-time North Carolina ladies champion, and his grandson Braxton Oliver was the North Carolina sub-junior champion last year. Braxton will also be competing in the North Carolina circuit shooting championship this year.

We are proud of Larry, and look forward to hearing about his future accomplishments in the field of sporting clays. v
