yes. And my father and uncle both had one each, on the south side of chicago, and later in south l.a. I worked in both my father's stores. We had sam cooke, the o'jays, many different blues artists and lots of sports stars come into our chicago store, and lots of famous actors, singers and sports stars come into our south l.a. Store. Most of the chitlin' circuit stars came into both stores, from 1963-1976 or so. Great memories. I used to serve several of them personally, including pushing their shopping carts, including most of the cast of tv's "amos and andy". Great memories.
