Lil’ Drug Store Products from Cedar Rapids became a household name


Lil’ Drug Store Products from Cedar Rapids became a household name

Immerse yourself in the 50-year history of Lil’ Drug Store Products at our new exhibit. I don’t know if you need a special wetsuit, but we’ll worry about that later. Lil’ Drug Store Products started with a simple idea in the 1970s and has transformed retail, establishing itself as a leader in health and beauty products for the convenience and travel sectors. They are literally everywhere. I don’t want to alarm you, but they are probably in your home RIGHT NOW! If you look at their website, you’ll see that they are in every state and everywhere in that state. It seems like there’s a lot going on there.
