GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Settle into the heritage of Kerr Drug with a quarter-zip sweatshirt inspired by a North Carolina pharmacy institution. From the first Chapel Hill store in 1951 through decades of Raleigh-based growth, Kerr Drug held a place in communities across the state. This layer speaks to fans of regional retail history, classic pharmacy culture, and hometown nostalgia. It makes a meaningful choice for former employees, health care professionals, collectors, and anyone with a connection to the Carolinas.
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.
