1929
Dougherty's Pharmacy opened in 1929 focused on personal service. A beloved Dallas institution, Dougherty's Pharmacy is the area's oldest, largest, and most-recognized full-service pharmacy serving customers across Texas. Founded at the start of the Great Depression in Oak Cliff, Mr. Dougherty set the bar for a customer-oriented pharmacy dedicated to its customers' well-being. The small pharmacy flourished in prime location between retail giants Safeway and A&P Grocery. In the pharmacy's first year of operation Mr. Dougherty foiled a robbery attempt by the infamous Bonnie & Clyde. Mr. W.B. Dougherty knew well the neighborhood families he served. He remembered their names, their lives, and he compounded the medications they needed by hand.
