    • Trivia
      This was the only Laurel and Hardy short that could be called a sequel. Here the owners of the grocery store next to Stan and Ollie's new electrical shop are the same Mr and Mrs Hall who stopped in at Stan and Ollie's trailer in the mountains when their car broke down in Them Thar Hills (1934). (Other than this coincidence, there is no other connection between the two stories.)
    • Quotes

      Oliver: [Escorting Grocer's Wife down the stairs from the bedroom] I've never been in a position like that before!

      [laughs]

      Oliver: But, it's certainly a pleasure to have seen you again.

      Grocer's Wife: Oh, it's my pleasure!

    Minding The Store With Mr. Laurel & Mr. Hardy

    A LAUREL & HARDY Comedy Short. The Boys are opening a new electrical supply store and are surprised to learn that the grocery next door is owned by the same bickering couple they met disastrously in THEM THAR HILLS. Mr. Hall quickly impugns Ollie's honor & the resulting TIT FOR TAT struggle, in which they wreck havoc on each other's person & property, quickly reaches donnybrook proportions...

    A hilarious film, one of Stan & Ollie's best. The battle royal with the grocer is long & very satisfying. Notice the running gag of the little fellow robbing the Boys blind. Charley Hall & Mae Busch play the neighbors.
