Citizens Bank built this structure around 1912 and failed in the late 1920s. It was later occupied by a series of drug stores: Vann's Drug Store, Bacon's Drug Store, Lanier's Drug Store, Culpepper's Drug Store, Bennett's Drug Store, and Marshall's Drug Store. For a time, the Inverness bus station operated from these businesses. During World War II, from December 1941 through August 1945, the owner would be notified that busloads of military recruits would be stopping in Inverness for a meal, and the business remained open after hours to accommodate the soldiers. As a drug store with a soda fountain, it was a place to bring a girl for an ice cream sundae or a Coca-Cola, and in the 1940s Bennett's Drug Store also had a great cigar selection. It was later occupied by Damron's Auto Parts and numerous pub-type establishments. In 1991, two college friends, a businessman and a local coach, opened a sports themed restaurant known as Coach’s Pub and Eatery, which remained a popular gathering place as of November 2008.
