A Chapel Hill Classic: Sutton’s Drug Store

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Chapel Hill chapter.

Students can transport themselves back in time by taking a trip to Sutton’s Drug Store.  Located on Franklin Street, Sutton’s has been in business since 1923.  Stop inside to shop at the front of the store, and while you’re there, be sure to grab a bite to eat from the bar or booths in the back.

With a convenience store, grill and soda fountain, Sutton’s is not just any old pharmacy.
 

Sutton’s makes a variety of milkshakes, including mint chocolate chip and chocolate.

Burgers are a popular menu choice for many customers.

Photos of athletes, famous people, and other customers line the walls.  If you’re lucky, you may even get your picture taken.
