CLOSER LOOK: Is it still worth the drive to Acton?
Manage episode 454214112 series 3620459
On tonight’s episode of ‘Closer Look’: an iconic Ontario store — famous for its familiar radio ads — is closing down.
Originally established in the 1800s as a warehouse for leather goods, The (Olde) Hide House opened to the public in 1980, selling jackets, purses, furniture and other high-quality goods.
The store's radio ads, featured far and wide, became famous: "It's worth the drive to Acton."
Customers will need to make one last drive if they plan to shop at the store again. The Hide House announced it is closing the doors for good, as soon as all remaining stock is liquidated.
HaltonHillsToday reporter Herb Garbutt joins us on the show to talk about the end of an era.
