Besthoff. From its Canal Street beginning to its regional Gulf Coast presence, K\u0026amp;B made purple a lasting part of the city's visual language. This coffee mug honors the familiar stores, local routines, and independent retail spirit that still inspire collectors. A warm everyday nod to one of New Orleans' most remembered names.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eK\u0026amp;B, short for Katz \u0026amp; Besthoff, was a New Orleans drug store chain founded in 1905. Gustave Katz and Sydney J. Besthoff began the business at 732 Canal Street and expanded it through the twentieth century into a regional chain serving the United States Gulf Coast. The stores became closely associated with their distinctive K\u0026amp;B Purple, used on signs, cash registers, employee uniforms, and other store elements; the shade remains part of New Orleans local vocabulary. K\u0026amp;B sold a broad selection of private-label household goods, liquor, and signature ice creams, and operated an independent credit card program. Its later headquarters, K\u0026amp;B Plaza at Lee Circle in the Central Business District, was acquired in the mid-1970s. The older headquarters and warehouse at 900 Camp Street became the Contemporary Arts Center headquarters around the start of the 1980s. K\u0026amp;B sold its assets to Rite Aid in 1997, after which the stores were rebranded. K\u0026amp;B Plaza retained its familiar name, while the K\u0026amp;B family continued to occupy office space there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e11oz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e15oz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.74\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e4.61\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eDiameter, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.15\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.43\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Microwave-safe for quick reheats\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in 11oz and 15oz sizes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Glossy white ceramic with vibrant, long-lasting print\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Lead- and BPA-free, comfortable C-handle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Clean in dishwasher or wash by hand with warm water and dish soap\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: Clean in dishwasher or wash by hand with warm water and dish soap\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":54604356059420,"sku":"96667084708538510566","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":54604356092188,"sku":"35723396453685598830","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/2400448877208068279_2048.jpg?v=1790226644","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/k-b-katz-besthoff-ceramic-coffee-mug","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
