Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce honors owner John Woodard, owner of Sutton's Drug Store

Posted Nov 3, 2015
A place full of character and charm, Sutton’s Drug Store feels like home for Chapel Hill residents and students.Woodard began his career working in a pharmacy. The UNC graduate never thought he would own a store on Franklin Street until he got the opportunity in 1977. “In the pharmacy world, it’s like hitting a home run, so to speak,” Woodard said. “Just the thought of it, whether it worked out or not, was so exciting.” (Daily Tar Heel)
