Historical NoteReturn to Top
Cordiner Drug Store was a drugstore located in Laramie, Wyoming during the first half of the twentieth century. It was founded by A.H. Cordiner, who held one of Wyoming's earliest pharmacy licenses. In 1911, the original Cordiner Drug Store was located on Second Street in Laramie, but A.H. Cordiner closed it and went to work for Eggleston Drug Company, which was also in Laramie. A.H. Cordiner later purchased Eggleston Drug Company and renamed it Cordiner Drug Store in 1920. A.H. Cordiner and his son Hamilton Cordiner (who served as mayor of Laramie) operated the store until the 1950s.
