   CONGRATULATING PARKER'S CONVENIENCE STORES ON 40 YEARS IN BUSINESS

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Parker's Convenience Stores for celebrating 40 years in business.
  Patrick Parker opened his first location in 1986 under the name Three 
Little Birds. Today, it has grown to 11 convenience stores throughout 
coastal Georgia.
  All Parker's locations tailor their products to meet customers' 
needs. Some stores are known for their gourmet food or beach items 
while other stores are better known for their homestyle cooking.
  Part of the local chain's success is due to the Parker family's 
continuous involvement in both their business and the community. From 
supporting their children's schools to giving back to other charities, 
the Parkers are pillars of coastal Georgia. This tradition will 
certainly continue as Jack Parker, Patrick's son, is moving home to 
take over and expand the family business.
  I congratulate Parker's Convenience Stores on 40 years of successful 
business and wish them well in the future.
