Joel n' Jerry's

Joel n' Jerry's was a chain of discount drugstores in Florida, from 1984 to 1995.

History
Joel n' Jerry's began with a store in St. Petersburg, FL in 1984, founded by Joel Fisher and Jerry Finland, who had met while working at F&M Distributors. The chain began expanding around the surrounding area, with plans to expand across Florida and even into the rest of the Southeastern US. By 1986, the chain had opened a 2nd St Petersburg location, a Largo location, a Brandon location, and a location in Carrollwood.

In 1994, the chain was sold by it's founders to HBA Distributors, Inc. Under HBA's ownership, the chain attempted to transform itself into a traditional drugstore, dropping the discount model. The following year, the chain moved to acquire all of the Florida locations of Phar-Mor, which had recently entered bankruptcy, however plans fell apart when the sale was not approved by Phar-Mor's creditors. Shortly thereafter, the chain announced it was pulling out of Hillsborough County, closing 3 of it's 9 stores. Later that year, the chain was acquired by Eckerd, who converted two of the remaining stores, and closed the other four.
