Donald Melvald was the eponymous shopkeeper of Melvald's General Store in downtown Hawkins, and the employer of Joyce Byers and Jeffrey.
History
Background
At some point in his life, Donald began running Melvald's General Store. He hired Joyce Byers, Jeffrey and several others as employees.
1983
The day after her son Will disappeared, Joyce came to the store to buy a new phone and asked for a two weeks advance. Donald was reluctant, as he needed to pay Jeffrey for covering for her, but Joyce was adamant and Donald sympathized with her predicament.[1] The next day, she came back to buy several packs of Christmas lights and another phone.[2]
Later on, Donald was present during Will's funeral.[3]
Behind the scenes
Donald is listed as "Mr. Melvald" in the credits.
