Kerr Drug Car Magnet
Let the road carry a reminder of Kerr Drug's North Carolina story. Founded by Banks Kerr in 1951, the Raleigh-based chain began at University Mall in Chapel Hill and became a familiar pharmacy name throughout the state. This car magnet gives collectors and longtime customers a simple way to share that regional connection. Display it on daily commutes, reunion weekends, road trips, or any drive that calls for a little hometown pride and retail nostalgia.
Kerr Drug was an American drugstore chain based in Raleigh, North Carolina, with stores throughout the state. Banks Kerr founded the company in 1951 after graduating as valedictorian from the University of North Carolina School of Pharmacy. Its first store opened at University Mall in Chapel Hill. In January 1995, Thrift Drug, then owned by JCPenney, acquired Kerr's 97-store chain. During JCPenney's attempted acquisition of Eckerd Drug, federal regulators required 161 stores in North Carolina and South Carolina to be divested. Those stores were acquired by New Kerr Drug, an entity owned by Thrift's former president. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Pharmacy dedicated Banks D. Kerr Hall in 2002. In 2009, Kerr sold 11 Charleston-area stores to CVS and refocused on North Carolina. That year it introduced Naturally Kerr formats in Raleigh and Asheville. Walgreens purchased Kerr's remaining 76 stores and distribution center in 2013, later converting remaining locations to its own name.
