Justus Drugstore

Jul 10, 2008 missouri, restaurants

As strong supporters of local sourcing, for a while now I’ve been meaning to get to Justus Drugstore Restaurant just North of Kansas City in Smithville, MO.  Now, it would seem, I might not get that chance.

Earlier this month, Justus and Eklof received a letter on Board of Pharmacy stationery ordering them “to immediately CEASE AND DESIST the unlawful use of the word drugstore” (capitals in the original) in the restaurant’s name.

“I told her [Board of Pharmacy rep] that the intent of the law is clear,” Justus recalled, referring to the inspector. “She jumped all over me and said that someone could come to us thinking they were getting medical advice from a professional.” 

Dumb.
