I don't, but I'd just thought I'd point out that both elves and elfs are correct.

I liked that store. Good sort of general store where you could pick up all your school supplies (pencils, paper, lunch box), household stuff, etc.

PeeweesPrincess 7 years 8 months ago Posts: 30	Sorry for bumping an old-ish/dead thread, but are there any Hills Department Stores still around? (Did they all close up? Or did they move somewhere else?) There used to be one down the street from me..

mr3urious 7 years 8 months ago Posts: 3359	I remember seeing a Hills X-mas commercial on The World's Funniest Videos (sort of an AFV clone) where one man was asking for toy trains at another department store, but he said they only had cabooses. The man then asked if they had tracks, but they only had curved ones. The next shot showed a caboose running around a round track!

Dawg 7 years 8 months ago Posts: 484	Hills no longer exists... if you click the link above from Ray8286, it gives a history on Hills. They were bought out by Ames, which were then eventually ran bankrupt and closed down all locations. The bigger-box stores of Wal-Mart, Target, & K-Mart basically chewed them up & spit them out. Hills I have fond memories of 'cause it was a department store that was close enough to me where I could bike to. They had cheap popcorn & cotton-candy in the lobby, which the smell was always intoxicating. It was also where they had a couple of coin-op games... of which I still remember to this date that its where I got my first taste of Rampage.

felix 7 years 8 months ago Posts: 61	Best thing about HILLS was the set-ups they would have at the end of the toy aisles! Seeing new GI Joe toys protected only by a clear plastic display always made me want to shop-lift Hills is where I got some of my toys in the 80's and then Aames had to come along and ruin everything! But my #1 source for toys was CHILDRENS PALACE baby!

Dawg 7 years 8 months ago Posts: 484	Yes... almost forgot about that. Gotta have a drink to go along with the popcorn & cotton candy. Slurpee's always were red or blue flavored (cherry or blue-raspberry, I think). Also at a reasonable rate. I remember the slush-puppy as the mascot as the big red & blue cup swirled around.

misspiggy 7 years 3 months ago Posts: 1470	Hills was great. I loved shopping there for christmas stuff. They had sooo many more toys than anywhere eles. Back when our Hills store was still open we still didn't have any just regular toy stores yet. No toys r us, no Kb(which is closed now too) we didnt even have walmart yet. I loved all the stuff at hills. It was cheap too. Not to mention it was one of the few stores that still had layaway. Anticipation of picking up the layaway....priceless...hehe haha!

It was OK for the on-the-go attitude they had, though I wish you could sit-down still.

My mom would do all of our Christmas shopping at Hills and when she would come home with a big brown box with Hills stickers on them, I knew she had brought home our Christmas presents.
