# The Clarion- Ledger: Jackson Military Veterans to Open Your Pie

**TL;DR:** Jackson military veterans Dee Broadwater and John Henry are opening a Your Pie location in Mississippi, with plans to open three or four more locations. The first location is set to open in Jackson in late February.

## Story

Dee Broadwater and John Henry had always dreamed of going into business together after working together overseas in Afghanistan around 2009, then contracted to help train Afghan soldiers.

Broadwater and Henry are veterans of the U.S. Military and U.S. Navy, respectively, but had always expressed an interest in operating a business together back near their hometowns in Mississippi.

Now, the two are preparing to open both their first Your Pie location and Jackson's first, and won't be stopping there either.

Broadwater told The Clarion-Ledger that they intend to open three or four additional locations, specifically in Ridgeland, Flowood, Clinton and Brandon.

The state's first Your Pie, courtesy of Broadwater and Henry, is set to open in Jackson in late February.
