September Member Spotlight

McCaysville Drug and Gun.

McCaysville Drug & Gun has been a member of the Chamber for more than 30 years, serving the McCaysville area since 1962. Owner and Pharmacist Hugh Rogers has carried on that tradition since taking ownership of the pharmacy in 1997. Around 2010, while visiting with a colleague in South Georgia, Hugh was introduced to the idea of adding a gun department to the pharmacy. That conversation sparked an opportunity to expand the business, and today, the Gun Department has become an important part of what makes McCaysville Drug & Gun unique. The business is supported by a dedicated team of two pharmacists, four pharmacy technicians, and two staff members in the Gun Department, all working together to provide friendly, knowledgeable service. We are proud to recognize McCaysville Drug & Gun for its many years of service and commitment to our community!
