Mr. Haney is Hooterville's sneaky and notorious conman and one of its two and only major proprietors of goods alongside Sam Drucker, but unlike Sam, everything he sells is either overpriced, damaged or poorly made, with very few of his wares ever being of any decent quality. He is also the head of many self-owned and crooked businesses, such as an antique store, an airplane service, an animal rental, a taxi service, a home renovation service, an unemployment agency and more.
