HOBO- I remember back in the early 70's HECKS Department stores have what they called "DOOR Buster" sales.
People would line up outside the entrance doors and wait for the manager to unlock them. Then the rush was on, just like they do today.
"Heck's, Inc. was established in 1959 by Fred Haddad, Tom & Lester Ellis, and Doug Cook.
Heck's stores were discount, stand alone department stores found in small cities throughout West Virginia, western Maryland, the Ohio Valley, and parts of Indiana & Kentucky. Its structure and product lines were similar to its competitors, Fisher's Big Wheel, Hills Department Stores, G.C. Murphy's Mart, Tempo and Buckeye Mart Stores and Walmart.
Part of Heck's expansion into the Midwest came after acquiring a smaller discounter, T-Way Stores. It also acquired Mr. Wiggs of Indiana and Ohio in 1981.[1]
At its peak in the 1980s, Heck's operated 170 stores throughout West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Maryland and Virginia. Forbes Magazine ranked Heck�s third nationally in profitability and growth in 1980, beating out Kmart."
