When Mega Lo Mart starts selling propane, Strickland Propane can't compete with their prices, and Hank loses his job. He winds up working in the propane department at Mega Lo Mart, under the supervision of Luanne's boyfriend Buckley. Hank and other Mega Lo Mart employees decide to protest the way the company destroys small businesses, by disrupting a concert by the company spokesman, Chuck Mangione. Meanwhile, Luanne, who wanted Buckley to give her the job that he gave to Hank, tells Buckley she's breaking up with him. And Hank, Luanne and Buckley are the only people in the Mega Lo Mart when Hank notices a leak...

Tag line: "Shut UP!" "(Giggle)" "Shut UP!" (two Megalomart employees voiced by Pamela Segall and Brittany Murphy)
(edit)
This is Buckley's final appearance alive. Also, this two-part episode was part of a mock promotion by FOX to move the setting of the show to Beverly Hills. Indeed, in the final promo for "King of the Hills," the network was merely annoucing that they were moving the show to Tuesdays, which nearly killed the series.

Luanne: (Talking to Hank) I hope you like walking to work because I took your car keys, and flushed them down the toilet.
(Hank gets in his truck and drives away. Then, Peggy walks up to Luanne.)
Peggy: Luanne, have you seen my car keys? (edit) Boomhauer: (on phone) Dang ol', man! The dang ol' Mega Lo Mart just went, dang ol' boom, man!
Operator: Sir, I can't understand you.
Boomhauer: Dang...ol'...Mega Lo Mart...dang ol' boom, man. (edit) Luanne: Uncle Hank what's a BTU?
Hank: British Thermal Unit
Luanne: Oh! So there's no bacon in it at all then. (edit)

Bobby says that the box of tissue paper didn't come from the Mega Lo Mart, but the box clearly says "Mega Lo Mart" on it.

Wal*Mart
The storyline involving a small business closing after a national chain store starts competing parallels what has happened in many small towns throughout America where a Wal-Mart has gone in. (edit)
