Formed in 1968 by Mr. L. H. Harvin, Jr., Dr. John R. Harvin, Mr. George E. Hutchens, and Mr. John T. Church, H.H.C. Company was founded for the purpose of developing and testing the concept of a "combo" store. The store blended supermarket merchandise from Mr. Hutchens' Big Bear Food Stores (a predecessor of Ruddick Corporations' Harris Teeter) with general merchandise from Rose's Stores, Inc. discount stores.
All shares of stock from the various real estate corporations are now owned by the descendants (and families) of Mr. & Mrs. Rose.
