Fowler's Food Store, 1950s
Fowler's Food Store was founded in Chapel Hill by the Fowler family in the 1920s. The store occupied several locations on West Franklin Street; in 1942, the grocery opened a Durham location on North Roxboro Road, just south of East Club Blvd. In 1950, Owners were noted as "RL Fowler and MM Fowler, the former being in active charge."

After the family sold the Chapel Hill store in the late-1970s, the Durham store became the one-and-only.
