It was a super-store of its day. The new J.J. Newberry opened in Pocomoke City on July 21, 1955, moving from its former location on the west side of Market Street to the new store at the northeast corner of Market and Second Streets.
Was Don Woodward the only manager they had? Inquiring people want to know.

Slim-
While this doesn't fully answer your question, AI had this to say:
Carl Woodward was a well-known manager of the J.J. Newberry store in Pocomoke City, Maryland. He stepped into leadership right around the mid-1950s transition period when the business opened its major, brand-new location on the corner of Market and Second streets on July 21, 1955.
Historically, the store's leadership in the decades surrounding that era included:
- William Weller managed the original, older location on the west side of Market Street up through 1954.
- Carl Woodward then took over management duties, overseeing operations during the peak "five-and-dime" era of the late 1950s and into the 1960s
