The interior is now a light green and the "first dollar" of the business is hanging on the wall.įor Season 46, Hooper's received yet another overhaul, this time recapturing its old-fashioned soda shop roots, complete with repainting the facade framework green, bringing back the classic yellow-and-black checkered design (complete with the old Bell Telephone System logo, in addition to a new free WiFi symbol), and its old-fashioned striped awning. It is clad with refrigeration, and magazines and newspapers on a special shelf. The interior is no longer an old-timey soda shop, yet more of a convenience store. It got a new exterior color (back to blue) and a new tan and red striped awning. Starting in Season 39, Hooper's got a complete overhaul, interior, and exterior, to give it a modern look. In 2002, the building was repainted again, now a pale orange. Later in 1998, when Alan took over, the entire front of the building was repainted a bright blue color and a new red vinyl awning stretching over the front window, and also around the corner of the building to a new side window (that was added that same year) with white letters reading "Hooper's Store" on both sides (no murals on the side of the store now due to the new side window, and the checkered design was dropped). In Episode 2923, a new mural was painted on the side of the store by artist Speedy van Gough (played by Robert Townsend). The construction brought minor, cosmetic changes to the store, most notably a back door accessing the basement and kitchen. In 1991, Biff accidentally damaged the store when he hammered a picture frame to the wall, and Hooper's Store was then rebuilt over the course of several episodes.
The store contains a basement for extra storage accessible via a trap door behind the counter. Various murals have been painted on the building throughout those years. Hooper's Store has gone through a few redesigns over the years: from 1969-1998, the building was green with its trademark yellow- and black-checkered design below the window looking out front with an old-fashioned Bell Telephone System logo on the left side, and a green- and white-striped awning overlooking the front window. During Jim Henson's Musical World in 2012, John Tartaglia calls the store (using the phone number 120), where Alan's answering machine states their hours are 7 to 8am (referencing the show's air slot at the time on WNET, the main PBS station in the Greater New York Area). As glimpsed in Bedtime with Elmo, the store's normal hours of operation are 8am to 7:30pm. In Episode 1168, David states the store closes at six o'clock in the evening. He follows in the Hooper family tradition of convenience store ownership as seen through flashback in the song " When I Was as Little as You Are". In the season 8 premiere, which aired on November 29, 1976, Hooper's Store celebrated its 25th anniversary, which means that Mr. The residents of Sesame Street visit Hooper's regularly, including Big Bird, who often drops by for a birdseed milkshake. Described in early materials as a candy store (and still referred to as late as Episode 2879 in 1991), Hooper's functions largely as a lunch counter and general store, and also boasts a newsstand. Hooper's Store is located on Sesame Street between what has traditionally been the Fix-It Shop and the courtyard.
