HnT

"HnT" in the St. Louis area?

What might HnT stand for? Most likely a restaurant or retail store or some sort of business entity or at least a physical location -- it's somewhere where someone could work.

It might be a national chain of something, but it might be particular to St. Louis, Missouri. From the capitalization, it seems most likely to be "H____ and T_____" -- any thoughts what it could be?

Heads 'n Tails Lures? Heads & Tails Pet Spa & Boutique?

Oddly enough, Heads 'n Tails Lures is about four blocks from my house and has got to be a mail order business someone is running out of their basement, so that seems pretty unlikely. (So it's a small world, but I'd hate to have to paint it.)

Is there any more context you can give us? How old is the person likely to be working there? Do they have any particular experience? Would "Hotels and Tourism" (i.e. I'm working the desk of a hotel?) fit the abbreviation usage?

High and tight haircut? Is it near a military base?

Hotel and Tourism is the obvious answer, but yes, more context helps!

There's a store at the Galleria in Clayton called "Headz n' Threadz", which seems to abbreviate themselves as HnT on Facebook.
