In historic Kenova, West Virginia, take a step back in time with a visit to the local drug store and soda fountain–Griffith & Feil, which has been serving happy customers for almost 130 years!

Family-owned from the get-go, Griffith & Feil Drug and Soda Fountain in Kenova, West Virginia, first opened in 1892.

It was originally called R Ney Williams Drug and operated by R Ney Williams and his wife.
Almost 100 years ago, in 1921, the first Griffith joined the staff of the drugstore.

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.
Stepping into Griffith & Feil Drug is like stepping back in time.
