Candy the chimpanzee. I do not remember exactly how but she somehow came there from Buckskin Bill.

She also bit off the thumb of the owner's mother.

Was purchased by Baton Rouge jewelry magnate Huey Wilson who owned Wilson's which had roughly the same business model as Service Merchandise. He renamed his stores and brought HQ to Baton Rouge in late '70's or early 80's.



Wrong, Service Merchandise purchased Wilson's 80 stores in 1985 for $200m

We always heard about it. It is funny that nobody knows any of the details. That is because it did not happen.

I still think it happened. Conspiracy theories, rumor mills and whatnot.

That's not what was said. I have no idea if people were laid off.

eta: They are moving their HQ from City Plaza 2 to the IBM building this fall for more room.

Well, they moved almost everything but the owner and the dog to Texas.

The original plan was to keep everyone in BR. I was told at the time that the new CFO, or whatever he was, was less than impressed with BR on his first trip.

I don't know if to belive that or not, just hearsay from the corporate employees at the time.
