Add Drug Store

Founded in 1961 by Wayne Edwards and Sam Horton in Athens’ Five Points neighborhood, Athens Discount Drug (ADD) began as a small pharmacy and lunch counter with a focus on personalized, community-centered service. Under the care of Jim and Lorene Horton, the store became known for its old-fashioned soda fountain, unique gifts, USPS services, and expert pharmacy care. Today, pharmacist and University of Georgia graduate Kevin Florence carries on their legacy. While preserving the charm and traditions established by the Hortons, Kevin and his team continue to enhance patient care through modern pharmacy practices—all while maintaining the warm, face-to-face service that has defined ADD Drug for over 60 years.
