HQ (Home Quarters Warehouse) was basically the first hardware mega-store I remember in Virginia Beach. Which I guess makes sense, they were initially headquartered in Hampton Roads. There was a Hechinger hardware store that preceded the Barnes & Noble at Columbus. But it's floor plan was sort of in between a mega-store and smaller, traditional mom & pop hardware stores.
This is a photo from years after HQ was abandoned.. maybe 2006. This was the store I remember most, at Pembroke (where Wegman's is currently located).
