We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
It was originally called R Ney Williams Drug and operated by R Ney Williams and his wife.
The Griffith family eventually became partners and then co-owners of the drugstore, and the name was changed to reflect this new ownership. There's been a Griffith at the helm of Griffith & Feil ever since--today, the store is owned by Ric Griffith and operated by him and his daughter, Heidi.
You can also utilize the drugstore side of the business for all your pharmacy needs.
Take a step back in time with a stop by this historic soda fountain and drug store and support a longstanding, family-run business in the process!
