Students at Gray’s Pharmacy’s Lunch Counter, circa 1960-1969<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gray’s Pharmacy<\/strong> was a pharmacy across Hampton Boulevard from the Old Dominion University (ODU)<\/strong> campus that was heavily used by the ODU community for almost 80 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Established in 1918, Grey’s Pharmacy was a local hangout for students, faculty and staff at ODU. After the closure of Bud’s Emporium<\/a><\/strong> in the 1960s due to new dining options in the newly-opened Webb University Center<\/a><\/strong>, Old Dominion students visited Gray’s Pharmacy’s old-fashioned soda counter more often. The lunch counter was a popular spot from the 1960s to 1989. For financial reasons, Gray’s closed in 2016 after almost 100 years in business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
