Besthoff in 1905. This pint glass brings a memorable piece of Gulf Coast retail history to the bar, patio, or kitchen. K\u0026amp;B purple, Canal Street beginnings, private-label goods, and the familiar neighborhood-store experience all remain part of the story. A spirited everyday keepsake for collectors who remember K\u0026amp;B before its 1997 transition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eK\u0026amp;B, short for Katz \u0026amp; Besthoff, was a New Orleans drugstore chain founded in 1905. Gustave Katz and Sydney J. Besthoff began the business at 732 Canal Street, and the company expanded throughout the 20th century into a regional Gulf Coast chain. K\u0026amp;B became especially recognizable for its signature purple presentation, used on store signs, cash registers, employee uniforms, and more. The shade entered local vocabulary as “K\u0026amp;B purple.” Its stores carried private-label household goods, liquor, and signature ice creams, while the company also ran an independent credit card program. K\u0026amp;B’s later headquarters were at K\u0026amp;B Plaza near Lee Circle in the New Orleans Central Business District; the company bought the building in the mid-1970s. Its earlier headquarters and warehouse at 900 Camp Street was donated to become the Contemporary Arts Center’s headquarters at the start of the 1980s. Rite Aid purchased K\u0026amp;B’s assets in 1997 and rebranded the chain, but the K\u0026amp;B Plaza name remains part of the city’s corporate landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 16 oz (0.473 L) capacity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Tempered, durable glass construction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- BPA-free material\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Hand wash only to preserve finish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Assembled in the USA from globally sourced parts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Hand wash only\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, 2 year warranty in EU and Northern Ireland as per Directive 1999\/44\/EC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hand wash only\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"16oz","offer_id":54604355076380,"sku":"21827607508922137854","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/4315407895435033750_2048.jpg?v=1790248993","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/k-b-katz-besthoff-16oz-pint-glass","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
