\u00a0After selling his controlling interests in these businesses in 1981, Hall formed Corporate Finance Associates, a merger and finance company. \u00a0Then in 1985, he founded Wes Hall, Inc., a real estate company, before retiring in 1991. \u00a0Hall served as an adviser to the Service Corporation of Retired Executives (SCORE) until his death in 2002.<\/p>\n<p>The Minute Man brand has since dissolved into the memories of Arkansans and other long-time customers. \u00a0The last remaining restaurant, no longer franchised, resides in El Dorado, Arkansas. \u00a0But the legacy of Hall&#8217;s
