| With this category, I am going to remember & celebrate some of my favorite specialty stores & shops. Many are no longer in business, while others can be found in certain parts of the country. I am certain that you will remember some of these. So grab a snack & prepare to remember!!!!! |

| My memory: I remember that we had several stores locally. One of which was adjacent to the old Kroger grocery store in Russell. We would go into Revco often. We got out prescriptions filled there. They used to have alot of the old Atari 2600 video games for sale there and we always bought some. I recall that some of my favorite games came from here. I also bought many comic books & paperbacks here. I bought many of my old hard rock/heavy metal magazines like RIP, Hit Parader & Metal Edge here. I would guess that we shopped at Revco twice a week. It was a pretty neat little shop. |
| I will start out with a drug/pharmacy store. REVCO DISCOUNT DRUG STORES, or simply REVCO, was a major drug store chain that operated in the Ohio Valley, the Mid-Atlantic states & the Southeastern United States. When it was sold in 1997 it had over 2,500 stores. It was founded in 1956 in Detroit, Michigan and was originally known as Registed Vitamin Company. It was purchased in June of 1997 by CVS Drugs. By summer of 1998, all 2,552 stores were either closed or re-branded by CVS. CLICK HERE for the WIKIPEDIA article on Revco Discount Drug Stores |
