Miller's Outpost

[TheWatergirl41]

I did some Miller's Outpost commercials sometime between 1977-1979 as well as some LA County Fair Commercials during that time. Would be really cool to see them again or show my son. Does anyone know how to find old commercials from that period of time? I was the Miller's Outpost girl before the two cowboys (J.R. & Homer).... ;) Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :)

They had two Miller's Outposts in Santa Maria, CA in 1989. One in 95, then an Anchor Blue after 2000.

LoL, Miller's Outpost. Classic. Something tells me that while taping TORA TORA TORA someone forgot to press STOP or PAUSE during the commercial break, hence this "happy accident" that comes in handy 20 years later when you start reminiscing about the good ol' days. Remember that? Trying to create "seamless" recordings on your VHS recorder while taping from the TV?

My first job was in 1994, and minimum wage was still $4.25 an hour.

[SeXaR68]

@mikeym820 Crazy. My 1st job was at Universal Studios Hollywood in the Summer of 1997 and minimum wage was $4.75 then! Not much of an increase! :-(

[stringhawke]

Look at those prices! Remember when clothes cost that little?

Of course, it seemed like a lot of money at the time. Back in the 80s, minimum wage was $4/hour.

I worked at a the Miller's Outpost at the Plaza Pasadena Mall in Pasadena, CA, 1986-1987.

[snooters]

TORA TORA TORA!

[Lalo3001]

[101mek]

Lol I worked at millers outpost and loved it! Then they introduced all the anchor blue crap and down went the Levis

[lnwolf74]

Does anybody remember millers outpost in the west covina mall.Back in the 80s & 90s?

[junglefighter25]

Remember how they decorated Miller's Outpost with a little wild west town on the walls?

I remember being a little kid and staring at those little saloons, and jails and buildings while my mom was trying to find me Levi's in size 12 slim on the clearance rack.

I think that the Miller's that we would shop at was by the Old Towne Mall in Torrance.

[grandcyclops]

@junglefighter25

as a kid i remember that most. eventually it became a regular department store with better clothes.

[nvalrk]

LOL 1800 TELE-MAP. What, no Google?

[lastcall1981]

[wendileona]

OP shorts and shirts baby! Levi corduroys! Eagle Rock circa '81/82!

[kichichica]

anyone remember Chemin de fer cords for girls? I had a red pair!! So funny!

[ZombiedustXXX]

Anybody remember Miller's Surplus? On E Street in San Bernardino, CA, Miller's used to be an army surplus store in the early 1970's. I still have ammo cans and fishing line with the old price tags! They sold lots of Levi's and camping gear.

After the surplus scene faded out, "Lou Miller's Levi's & More" offered clothing instead.

Later the same location was a Miller's Outpost outlet store as Miller's Outpost became a houshold name.

The E Street location is now an Asian fish market.

[alopeke]

Really? I haven't been up there in forever. I remember as a kid being dragged to that location for school clothes. Then we would dash in to the pet store that was right next door to C&R Clothiers for fish supplies.

[3chrds]

homer and JR, fuck yeah muthafucka!

[LAWoman323213]

I remember this! In the early 90s I would buy my Levi's at the one in the Glendale Galleria.

[cujo66]

LOL! I forgot about those guys. I shopped there all the time in the 80's.

[whatsupper2009]

I remember the Miller's Outpost in Pico Rivera Ca, on Whittier Blvd. I'ts a Hollywood Video now.I was surprised to see the Chino or Upland store up still a few years back,I was surprised to see it.

[ManOfMeans]

My Dad actually took me to our local Miller's Outpost here in Chino, CA and low and behold the cowboys were there! I got both their signatures on one of the Miller's Outpost posters...in fact I still have it today and keep it in my garage with my other childhood things.

[pacanime]

I worked at one for two years. I guess the cowboy hick thing could'nt survive the 90s. We did have the western theme houses which they took down before I left. To modernize the look I guess. I didn't ask questions back then. I was a teenager.

[kurtandnancy]

Dang! I still wear those clothes.

[jenndiva1]

that is a cool flash back i remb the westminster mall had one and I used to want to go play with those wodden houses too lol!!

[christianbreese]

They actually had hundreds of stores throughout the southwest/west. I got to acompany the cowboys in a limo on some grand opening events in Sacramento CA back in 1985 (about) because my dad was the VP. The cowboys (bob & fred) are really cool guys. It was too bad that dutch family bought the company in the early 80's from Dave Miller and eventually ran all the great people out of the company and of course ran the company into the ground.

[setpaintertim]

The blond/red haired guy still lives in Rancho Cocamonga, I met them several times had a few friends that worked for millers at the corp. office at HUB. I live in Upland, man they were funny.

[ajwrangler1977]

If you live out west "Anchor Blue" is what "Miller's Outpost" eveolved into around 2000-2001.

[pirategrrl775]

i remember going to millers and buying 501's and bandanas--thought it was so cool back then............

[schizogony]

Millers outpost was awesome because they had those miniature cowboy houses all along the upper wall inside the store.

[jdrmc]

I remember!! I always wanted to go up there and play with them LOL..

[liltortya]

LOL me too I was just telling that to someone and of course they looked at me like I was from Mars. Thank you!

[Aero5150]

And of course the women's asses and men's bulges get plenty of air time.

[heine71]
