Rite Aid / Eckerd Drugs, 3000 Two Notch Road 12 comments
Here's another closed Eckerd store, although google indicates that this one was open as recently as the Rite Aid transition, which is not how I recall it. This store sits at the intersection of Two Notch and Beltline, and is now a children's dental clinic.
I'm pretty sure this location also once housed the local AMC dealership, name now forgotten, where I bought a really awful, I mean world class bad, car, though all those structures have since been torn down (or if they were like the car, may have just fallen apart..)
UPDATE 25 January 2012 -- Interestingly, the building directly across the street (in the old Payless Shoes/Carzzz location) is also becoming a dental clinic.
UPDATE 10 August 2020: Add tags, map icon, change "Eckerd" to "Eckerd Drugs" & "Rite Aid Drugs" to "Rite Aid" in post title.
UPDATE 17 November 2022: Changed title from "Eckerd Drugs / Rite Aid" to "Rite Aid / Eckerd Drugs" based on the comments.

The Eckerd/Rite Aid conversion was in the past year or two. This "dental clinic" has been there since 2002.

Yeah, that's why I said "which is not how I recall it".
I don't remember seeing any Rite-Aids in Columbia (after they left the area long ago) until they bought Eckerd, but I kept getting links like this when I googled "3000 Two Notch" -- all Rite Aid and no Eckerd..

This definitely opened as a Rite Aid. It looks like an early 90s Rite Aid build.

There's an ad for the AMC dealership in the WIS-TV 1975 news Youtube compilationsonline - it includes lots of ads and Joe Pinner spots, esp. in Pt. 2 of the clips!

The ad for the dealership is in Part 2 at 02:38... Check out the new 76 Gremlin! It was at 3010 Two Notch, Two Notch & Beltline, so that seems right..

Dave, thanks for those!
Great stuff, raising once again the eternal question:
"The 70s: What the heck were we thinking!?"

The AMC dealer was called Palmetto/American then later just Palmetto/AMC. Afterwards it became Heritage Lincoln-Mercury, and later moved to Graystone.
