          		 Ha! I remember the hot-dogs spinning when I would walk in with my mom. And at P&C, there would be one coin-op arcade game that I would continualy watch and beg my mom for a quarter!

            		 I remember the jingle. There was also the big red checkmark with the double "Swoosh" sound at the end.

              I have a facebook group dedicated to Zayre stores. If you have a facebook account log on and go search for "Zayre Stores Appreciation" group. :D

              Its got old Zayre pictures and commercials.

                    		 Yeah they were one of the stores we just about always went to when I was a kid. Such a sin they went under too because as I said in a thread about Ames it'd be nice to have something other than wal-mart and k-mart for cheap stuff.

                      		 I have alot of memories of Hills like when big toy display when you come in like Star Trek, Mego Superheroes and others. I remember my mom bought me a green smurf from there. To this day I still got North Pass Hikers I wore for high school in the Wintertime in 1990.

                          		 I don't really remember the commercials, but I did love going to Hills as a kid. Shame they're not around anymore.

                            I know that is was ages ago since you posted this, but I just stumbled upon Retro Junk today and noticed your message.

                            Here's one of the commercials: Hills Christmas Commercial

                              		 Hills in Middle Tennessee always had great arcade games and console demo stations. I vividly remember playing Atari 2600, ColecoVision, TI-99, Sega Master System, and NES there!
