GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Open refreshments with a nod to Kerr Drug, a North Carolina original founded in Chapel Hill by pharmacist Banks Kerr in 1951. The company expanded from a single store into a respected regional chain associated with community pharmacy and Raleigh business history. This Kerr Drug metal bottle opener is made for collectors who appreciate old drugstore names, local corporate history, and memorable staff-style graphics. It is an easy conversation piece for a home bar, gathering, or gift exchange.
Kerr Drug was a North Carolina drugstore chain founded by Banks Kerr in 1951. Kerr, valedictorian of the University of North Carolina School of Pharmacy, opened the first store at University Mall in Chapel Hill. The business grew into a regional chain with headquarters in Raleigh and developed a reputation for clinical pharmacy services, community focus, and partnerships with local physicians and universities. In January 1995, Thrift Drug, then owned by JCPenney, acquired Kerr's 97 stores. Following required store divestments connected with JCPenney's proposed Eckerd Drug purchase, a new Kerr Drug entity acquired 161 stores in North and South Carolina. In 2002, UNC-Chapel Hill's School of Pharmacy dedicated Banks D. Kerr Hall to its founder. Kerr later refocused on North Carolina, selling 11 Charleston stores in 2009 and introducing the Naturally Kerr format. In 2013, Walgreens bought Kerr's remaining 76 stores and distribution center; most locations were converted to the Walgreens name.
