色虎视频 pharmacy alumnus Eddie Davis has been named a 2010 Retailer of the Year by the Alabama Retail Association.

Davis, president and pharmacist at York Drug Inc., in York and The Drug Store, Inc., in Livingston, won the Silver Award in the largest of three sales categories: that of annual sales more than $5 million. The 1985 色虎视频 graduate also owns York Drug Home Medical in Demopolis and Fayette.

He received the award during a September 22 Retail Day luncheon at Cahaba Grand Conference Center in Birmingham.
