Notes:
It looks like this started with "JONES & GOOLRICK" in 1869. That company was run by Dr. C. A. Jones, and William Barber Goolrick (1847-1909)⁶, the successors to Hoomes & Brother.²

That didn't seem to last long, as later that same year, it was announced that Dr C.A. Jones was dropping Goolrick to run the store himself. The newspaper announcement didn't offer any explanation of why this was.³

The 1870 US Census lists William's occupation as "apothecary clerk", so it appears he stayed in the drugstore business, but I could not find any evidence that he was actually owning or running a drug store at that time.
There was an announcement later in 1870 that he had teamed with Jno. Tayloe Jr. to form a wood and coal business called "Tayloe and Goolrick"⁷, but that business was also short-lived, as it was disolved the same year⁸. Between 1874 and 1876, there were newspaper mentions of William running businesses in Culpeper VA. The next mention I could find was the 1880 US Census that listed William back in Fredericksburg, with his occupation listed as "Keeping Drug Store". So I assume he started his own drug store on or before 1880.

Sometime around the 1890s, Williams's son Keating Nelson Goolrick (1874-1921)⁹ started working for his father. Also around that time, the store moved to 901 Caroline Street⁵.
By 1905, Nelson (he apparently went by his middle name) had taken over the drug store from his father.¹

William passed away in 1909, and Nelson passed away in 1921. Nelson had been teamed up with and W. J. Lacy. Lacy ran the drug store with Charles P. Rector. When Lacy died in 1933, Charles took over the store. There have been other owners since that time⁵.

The drug store was in operation until May 2022, at which time it was sold with plans to re-open as a restaurant with a soda fountain.
