A Natchez landmark started by Dot and Junior Price and bought from them in 1991 by Mary Tyson and George Scott, who ran it for more than two decades. Third-generation owner Jason Tyson took over in 2014, kept the original recipes and added a Gulfport shop in 2022; he was killed in a March 2024 crash.
Tyson/Scott family business; post-2024 ownership not confirmed in coverage.
