The North Carolina Business Hall of Fame inducts a Raleigh restaurant entrepreneur, a Winston-Salem banker and a former Raleigh mayor during a celebration Thursday in Charlotte.

The three chosen by the state Chamber of Commerce and Junior Achievement includes Golden Corral founder James Maynard. He built the Raleigh-based company into a chain of 490 restaurants in 42 states.

John Allison is the chairman of Winston-Salem's BB&T and a professor at Wake Forest University. The third inductee is real estate developer and former Raleigh
