Fasey & Besthoff

Fasey & Besthoff was a historical pharmacy partnership based in New Orleans, Louisiana, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The firm is most notable for being the predecessor or closely linked to the founding of the Katz & Besthoff (K&B) pharmacy chain, which became a dominant retail healthcare presence in the Gulf South. The partnership involved members of the Besthoff family, specifically Sydney J. Besthoff, who later partnered with Gustave Katz to form K&B in 1905. While the specific entity Fasey & Besthoff is no longer active, its legacy is tied to the evolution of modern retail pharmacy and healthcare distribution in the United States.
