Hop in a time machine and go all the way back to the 50s and 60s at this drug store restaurant in North Carolina. If you love waxing nostalgic about the “good old days” when the community gathered at the local soda fountain counter in the local pharmacy, then you’ll love reminiscing at one that’s been open for more than six decades.
Ashworth Drugs first opened in Cary, North Carolina way back in 1957.

And things haven’t change much over the decades. The dining counter in the soda fountain is still a place to catch up with friends over lunch.
