In 1937, Melvin G. Paden sold the pharmacy to “Red” Eaker who retained the "Paden" name and ran the store until 1954.[3] In 1977, Carrizozo resident Roy Dow, who owned a gift shop, moved his shop in the Paden Drug Store.[3]
Paden's Drug Store recently operated as a Gift Gallery and Ice Cream Parlour.[3]
In April 2022, Marc Cohen and Julia Danielle quietly purchased the Paden Drug Store building, with plans to make improvements.
