Hills was so much better than Ames, Walmart, Kmart, etc. In Pittsburgh the Hills snack bar was so popular that they still sell Hills Snack bar candles around the area. I dont know how they do it but the candle smells exactly like the snack bar...mixture of popcorn, hot pretzels, hot dogs and Icee's

Do you remember their jingle? Hills is where the toys are?

I bought Christine McVie's solo album and Rumours at Hills. I bought Bella Donna at Woolworths. The rest at various record stores. |
Yeah, we had Hills all over central Indiana. I haven't thought of that toy commercial for years!
We also had(when I was very young) Air(Ayr?) Way, which was the bargain store version of the L.S. Ayres company. When Target came on the scene, they bought out Air Way, and those stores became Targets.
I think it's funny that you remember where you made all those purchases. I no longer remember most of them. I only remember live because I couldn't get the cellophane off it fast enough, to shove it into my 8 track player! Lol
Things I do remember in a freakish way? At my little honky tonk in Nashville, I can play 3+ hours of music on the jukebox, WITHOUT LOOKING UP ONE SINGLE NUMBER. They tell me that's abnormal! GYOW will come on... I'll randomly say, "that's 4005, you know!".
"David, you're a freak!"
"I know".
