the pharmacy K&B,


there was one at Highland Village at the north gate when I was at LSU, we'd buy Texas Pride beer there for $1.36/six pack, every once and awhile they'd have a sale on K&B beer and it would be cheaper so we'd get that

Yes. It’s a unique shade of purple.

The Kingpin down in NOLA has an old K&B cooler for their beer.

My bro and I used to look at the clear packs of baseball and football cards for hours. Ahhhhh the memories of malls and Kaybee toys.

Eta: i edited i do remember the nutcracker dude

I worked in High School became assistant manager (decided I wasn't going to college.) One Christmas season and I said F that I'm going to school. I stayed on as part time. ended up working there 6 years. I got vested in the retirement I was there so long. lol

The thing i'm proudest of while working there. I never wore that nut cracker suit. lol

The one in Houma was the 2ed largest one in the country.
I still get nightmares over women fighting over Cabage Patch dolls before you could even get them out of the packing. lol
It was fun playing with the remote cars, and laser tag stuff. I ate so many gummy bears working there I'm still kind of sick of them.

K and B.

Miss their ice cream.

Last time I was at my parents house I found some developed photos still in a K&B envelope.

There was one in Monroe near the Southside that you could buy beer with a fake ID and this was when we could still buy beer at 18. I think we started doing this at 16. I know those employees had to think we were underage but they gave zero fricks.
