The whole Eckerd/Thrift/Rite Aid/Brooks saga

I wanted to link that solely because of the note that the Eckerd in the pic is built on the site of Christina Aguilera's childhood home. LOL.

So now, we have Rite Aid, CVS, and Walgreen's (FINALLY) is entering the market. Plus all the discount dept stores and big supermarkets have pharmacies.

I miss Revco and especially Phar-Mor.

Back in 2000/2001, the Rite Aid on Bethel Rd in Columbus went out of business and I really thought they all did until I went home to Cleveland and saw a few there so now I know it might have just been the one on Bethel Rd.

I love Walgreens. Much faster than most other places.

Also, I hate CVS because they have that stupid discount card you're supposed to carry. Although, I don't understand why, because they always have a "courtesy card" there to use. They just give you "the eye" when you ask to use it.:rolleyes:

We have CVS, Rite Aid and Eckerd. I see Walgreen's is trying to get a foothold here now too. I miss People's Drug.

We're overwhelmed with Rite Aid here. They are so overpriced and the service is horrible. Once they wouldn't let me pick up a prescription because they could not get a hold of my doctor to give final approval. When did that become a requirement? I would love to see some more Walgreens. We only have about 4 or 5 of them now.
