Whit-Ash<\/a> has been in this location since 1974, making them a Vista<\/a> stalwart before there was a Vista.<\/p>\n

According to WIS<\/a> this location was once the Murray Drug Company<\/i>, and you should look at their article as it has a very nice historical picture and ad for that establishment.<\/p>\n

Before moving to this spot, several articles mention a (non-specific) site on Saint Andrews Road<\/a> as the original location for the store, and commenter Midnight Rambler found a 1973 State<\/i> article listing it as at Boardwalk Plaza<\/a>, which, of course was Bush River Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The owners are retiring, and don't have a definite end date for the closing sale, with the current plan being to sell down to the last piece of furniture.<\/p>\n

You can read about Whit-Ash<\/i> on ColaDaily<\/a>, WLTX<\/a> and The Post & Courier<\/a> as well as the WIS<\/i> link above.<\/p>\n

(Hat tip to commenter Tom)<\/p>\n
