In addition to Minute Man of America, Inc., Hall operated Dixie Equipment Company, Food Service Supply, and Razorback Sign Company. After selling his controlling interests in these businesses in 1981, Hall formed Corporate Finance Associates, a merger and finance company. Then in 1985, he founded Wes Hall, Inc., a real estate company, before retiring in 1991. Hall served as an adviser to the Service Corporation of Retired Executives (SCORE) until his death in 2002.
The Minute Man brand has since dissolved into the memories of Arkansans and other long-time customers. The last remaining restaurant, no longer franchised, resides in El Dorado, Arkansas. But the legacy of Hall’s innovations is clear to see in today’s food service industry.
