Early Years
During the initial seasons, until Will Lee's death, the store was run by Mr. Hooper.
During Season 3 (1971), Larry Block played Tom, a man who worked at Hooper's. Cookie Monster worked at the store in a few episodes (though his large appetite tended to cause problems in a store that sells food).
In one episode, Linda took charge working for this store while Mr. Hooper went away.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:
“No doubt they rose up early to observe
The rite of May.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“During those years in Stamps, I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare. He was my first white love.... it was Shakespeare who said, “When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes.” It was a state of mind with which I found myself most familiar. I pacified myself about his whiteness by saying that after all he had been dead so long it couldn’t matter to anyone any more.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
