Horn Seed there is still open, at least they were when we drove by a couple of days ago. Now the I-240 location is closed and I think the South Robinson location may be closed.
I worked there in the mid-80's.

OP didn't say it had to be a defunct business, he said "how far back". Horn's has been there a long time and so still stands as the H in this series. ; ) Hagee's is still fair game for the next round!
