[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 3073048, member: 34578"] Just found this. It's a couple years old but it appears the store is still there. Here is the really interesting bit. [I]"Otasco gave its franchisees the right to continue using the name for 99 years after going out of business."[/I] [URL]http://newsok.com/article/4987650[/URL] [I]MARLOW — While most Otasco stores in Oklahoma closed in the late 1980s, a bright yellow sign bearing the name of the forgotten retail chain still hangs defiantly over Mike Crow’s hardware and small-engine repair shop. The Otasco store, one of the last remaining of its kind in the state, sits on Main Street in Marlow between a Dollar General and a shop with a hand-painted sign called “Little Bit of Everything” that sells just that. The Marlow Review newspaper and City Hall are on the same block. [/I] Image "borrowed" from Google street view[I] [ATTACH=full]112513[/ATTACH] [/I] [/QUOTE]
