Worrell)jacky9br2024-02-03 | From 1986, here is a commercial for Salley's Grocery Store, a regional chain based in North and Central Louisiana, which, at this time, had 2 locations in Alexandria, LA and 1 in Pineville. This one aired on KALB-TV in Alexandria and features Jim Varney as Ernest P. Worrell. Around the time this ad aired, it did not have the impact Salley wanted, mostly stemming from the comment that Salley's was matching or beating every price in town. The ad campaign waned throughout 1986, and by the summer of 1986, James Salley retired with his ex-wife and children taking control of the business. In 1990, they closed their location on Jackson Street Extension, and the Pineville and Masonic Drive locations closed in 1992, with Masonic Drive closing shortly after the Presidential Election due to the recession of the early 1990s.

NMSA identifies it as the KSLA 1991 News Theme.
