K & B, bought a cheap set of box end wrenches with a plastic holder for maybe $6.00 in 1974, still have it.

Best products were the K&B beer, K&B ice cream and K&B playing cards

I’m pretty sure my parents said K&B’s but I’m not 100% sure.

Definitely not KB.

Rite Aid bought the K&B closest to my house, then Walgreens bought it from Rite Aid, just to close it down. So now the Walgreens down the street is packed, I have to drive to CVS.

Eastgate shopping center in Monroe, 1974. We sold lots of beer and liquor. I was a manager there.

Their Easter egg dyes were the best. Especially their purple.

All other Easter egg dyes should feel bad.
