Dr Pepper Restoration Project
The Dr Pepper brick advertisement located on the side of
Jo's Downtown is the largest hand-painted Dr Pepper advertisement in Texas.
During the time of its restoration the building was owned by Jo Campbell and was the home to her
business Jo's Antiques. For many years she tried to get the billboard restored until finally making contact
with Main Street Director Jacob Hatfield who opened the door to Dr Pepper by calling the Dr Pepper headquarters in Dallas, Texas. Jacob's phone call was soon returned by Division Sales Manager
for Dr Pepper's Heartland Region Scott McDowell and Dr Pepper got involved right away.
"We were very interested in helping restore the mural," said Scott McDowell. "We thought
this was a good fit for Dr Pepper to work with the City of Mount Pleasant to
make this happen and bring the mural back to reality."
"Restoration of this mural helps restore a piece of our city's history,"
said Jacob Hatfield.
"It truly was a joint effort," Jo Campbell said. " One person couldn't get it all done.
It took everyone pulling together."
