Corner Drug Store and Gift Shop

06/27/2025

After serving our local community for an amazing 87 years, the Corner Drug Store closed its doors for the final time on Friday, June 27, 2025.

To ensure your continued care, all pharmacy prescription records have been transferred to CVS, located at 1008 Union Center Main Highway, Endicott, NY (West Corners).

I'm deeply grateful for your loyalty through the decades and wish everyone continued good health, happiness, and all the best in the years ahead.

Please enjoy browsing through some favorite photos from over the years at the Corner Drug Store & Gift Shop (in no particular order).

Today, we say goodbye to a beloved landmark—our iconic logo sign that has proudly adorned the side of our building since 2007 - when we remodeled our storefront. Designed and hand-painted by the talented team at A Wild Sign Co. (607-748-3986), the sign held up great through years of weather and wear.

Per regulations, signs denoting a Drug Store/Pharmacy must be removed from the exterior of a building once a business closes. With respect and care, Pickett’s Painting (607-786-9544) will restore the building’s façade to its original color scheme.

We will be open today until 6pm and then limited store hours, for non-Pharmacy business, for our final days on Thursday (6/26) and Friday (6/27).

Flag Day is a time when American reflect on the foundation of the nation’s freedom.

Flag Day has a long history and began on the local level. Its origins date back to 1885, when a schoolteacher in Wisconsin had her class honor “Flag Birthday” on June 14 to mark the anniversary of the Flag Resolution of 1777. From there, communities across the country began to mark the day.

Our store closing received significant media coverage, with outlets like Pressconnects, WBNG, WIVT, and WICZ highlighting the news. One article that offers insight into this transition comes from 98.1 The Hawk, and I wanted to share it with you.

A much loved Endicott staple is preparing to close its doors after 87 years of serving the community.

HOW TO APPLY SUNCREEN ☀️

Apply 15 minutes before you go outside. This allows the sunscreen (of SPF 15 or higher) to have enough time to provide the maximum benefit.

Use enough to cover your entire face and body (avoiding the eyes and mouth). An average-sized adult or child needs at least one ounce of sunscreen (about the amount it takes to fill a shot glass) to evenly cover the body from head to toe.

Frequently forgotten spots:

Ears, Nose, Lips, Back of neck, Hands, Tops of feet, Along the airline areas of the head exposed by balding or thinning hair

Know your skin. Fair-skinned people are likely to absorb more solar energy than dark-skinned people under the same conditions.

Reapply at least every two hours, and more often if you’re swimming or sweating.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS WATERPROOF SUNSCREEN!

People should also be aware that no sunscreens are "waterproof.” All sunscreens eventually wash off. Sunscreens labeled "water resistant" are required to be tested according to the required SPF test procedure. The labels are required to state whether the sunscreen remains effective for 40 minutes or 80 minutes when swimming or sweating, and all sunscreens must provide directions on when to reapply.
