Dr. Sparkle Dr. Sparkle
  • Lowes Foods, Inc.
  • Lowes Foods in North Carolina
  • Submitted by T. Mike of the Van Gogh-Goghs

Dr Spice Dr Spice
  • Target (Market Pantry)
  • Target, Columbus, OH
Dr. Splash Dr. Splash
  • Marsh Supermarkets
  • Lo Bill Foods, Hamilton, OH
  • The former Marsh store in Hamilton is now a Lo Bill foods, and though it looks the same as its predecessor, there is one significant difference: Marsh's misnamed Dr. Fresh has been replaced by this. Marsh offers a 100% guarantee on its private label products, so if the company hasn't simply opted for a new name, this could mean that their policy finally caught up with them.
Dr. Springfield Dr. Springfield
Dr Springtime Dr Springtime
  • Springtime Beverages (Schultz Sav-O-Stores, Inc.)
  • Piggly Wiggly, Sheboygan, WI
  • Good use of the dot in the i to solve the Dr/Dr. dilemma. Though this franchise of Piggly Wiggly has its own version, not all Piggly Wigglys do; in fact, this is the only one I've seen that does.

Dr Topper Dr Topper Dr Topper
  • Inter-American Foods (Clover Valley)
  • Dollar General Store, Beloit, KS (old can); Marysville, OH (new can)
