Notes:
The following information was provided by the former owner of this drug store, Robert A. Garland2:
There were a total of 10 "Garland's Drug Stores" - the one on Grandin Road was store number 6.
Garland's Drug Store #6 was purchased by Walter B. Garland in the 1940s. In 1949,
Robert A. Garland took over the store from his father. In 1953 he re-opened the store in a larger
building across the street. It was a very large drug store - so large that it once filled 1192
prescriptions & made 667 deliveries all in a single day during a 1968 flu epidemic. The store was
sold in 1969 and was subsequently owned by various drugstore chains before closing down completely
in 2012.
Here is an old photo of Garland's Drug store on Grandin Road from the Roanoke Public Library.
