Re: Hoffman v. Red Owl

Looking for a good picture of a Red Owl store to illustrate Hoffman v. Red Owl Stores?  Well, we don’t have pictures of what Hoffman’s store would have looked like, but the good folks at Squid’s Market have given us permission to publish a photo of Mike’s Red Owl in Greenbush, Minnesota, a typical small-town upper-Midwest Red Owl franchise from that period.  The store was one of the predecessors of Squid’s.

Permission is granted for classroom use.  A link to a photo that can be downloaded is here.  (Photo: Courtesy Mike Korczak).
