We often get asked why we decided to name the store "Red Door" Pharmacy and Gifts. 

To many a red door is just simply a color. To us it has much more meaning than that.

- First of all it is a sign of Welcome in the south. This comes from early American tradition where a red door symbolized to tired horse and buggy travelers that a home was a safe place to stop and rest.

- Protection - In the Old Testament, Exodus 12, God commanded the Israelites to cover their doors in the blood of the lamb. This blood would act as a symbol of their obedience to God. Some churches still paint their doors red to symbolize Jesus' shed blood and that the area beyond the doors is sacred and holy. 

- Refuge - During the civil war, "safe homes" that were part of the Underground Railroad supposedly painted their doors red to guide escaped slaves to places of refuge and safety.

- Good Luck - Chinese consider red to be a lucky color and therefore many Chinese put a fresh coat of red paint on their front doors as part of their New Years celebration.
