In fact, the pharmacy has been in Ann Arbor longer than Michigan Stadium. According to owner Garry Turn- er, the store first opened in the 1910s, but it's been so long that even he wasn't sure exactly what year it opened. Although Turner has only owned the pharmacy since 1994, he said he still tries to run it with a customer-friendly attitude rem- iniscent of a simpler time. "I just tell all the help to treat everybody who walks in like its your aunt and uncle" Turner said. Although Turner strives to cre- ate an old-fashioned sense of com- munity, thephysical store is pretty modern. You won't find antique Coke bottles or homemade beef jerky in the aisles. Instead you'll find Orbit gum and Pepsi Max. But beneath the main floor - behind a door blocking customer use - is a lasting link to the store's historic past. An abandoned dry kitchen - essentially a kitchen without plumbing - still resides in the basement collecting dust, Turner said. The kitchen was used to prepare sandwiches and the like when the pharmacy used to have the symbol of a classic retro phar- macy - a soda fountain. Alas, soda jerks no longer greet you at The Village Apothecary door with a refreshing egg cream or Vanilla Coke. The pharmacy hasn't had an operating soda fountain in about 40 years. Debra Cook, the store's manag- er, said the store was an exception to the faceless superstores that have taken over the pharmacy business. "I think we really care about the people whereas at o you're just a "The custom. ily to me andt I'm their fam Grant Jeff School of A part-tine at echoed Cook the comfortal ,ment.
