Burgie Drug Store is locally owned and is proud to be an important partner in our community's health. The pharmacy was established in 1892 by pharmacist, Harry Burgie. Later, Max Jett began working for Mr. Burgie as a staff pharmacist in 1927. They soon became partners for many years. Mr. Jett would go on to become sole owner of the business after Mr. Burgie's death in 1952. Larry M. Proffitt, Rph. began work as a pharmacist for Max Jett in 1969, then later bought the business from him in 1971. Burgie Drug Store was moved from downtown to its present location in 1975. It has been owned and operated for the past 43 years by Mr. Proffitt. The business was built on the promise of providing quality drugs at competitive prices, with quick service and is still practicing this today. Over 123 years after its start, we are still here serving you and your family. There's a reason we are the oldest operating business in Elizabethton.
"Providing excellent patient care is the main priority here at Burgie Drug Store."
Larry M. Proffitt Dph., Tyler D Hyder, Dph., and Renee E. Horton, Dph.
It is health that is real wealth
and not pieces of gold and silver.
