He and his family lived above the store. In 1973, Bill's son, Tom, took over the business, and the business moved next door at 115 E. Chestnut Street in order to expand. Some were concerned that the change would wreak havoc with the success of the old store. But with the installation of a new soda fountain and new vinyl seats, tradition was preserved. In 2011, Tom's daughter, Katie Butt Beckort, took on the challenge of running Butt Drugs. Although Beckort has made some positive changes to the store, the soda fountain is still a cherished fixture.
