Oscar Remembers

Hill’s Store has been around longer than it’s current owner. Oscar grew up in the store, setting the stage for Todd to do the same, and his grandkids, and now his great-granddaughter, Mika is following the tradition. Here are a few of Oscar’s memories.

On growing up at Hill’s:

On his rise from gas boy to owner:

On farming and his 15 minutes of fame in a Food Town (now Food Lion) commercial:

Finally, every family has their own lore. In this tale, Oscar’s youngest sister Orene thought she was going to die because she had eaten “her peck of dirt.”
