Mark a chapter in regional pharmacy history with this Brooks Pharmacy men’s sport polo shirt. From its beginnings in a family-owned Rhode Island drug business, Brooks grew into a familiar name across New England and New York. The company’s history includes regional acquisitions, the RxWatch service, and a final transition to Rite Aid in 2007. It’s a considered choice for former customers, pharmacy-history enthusiasts, and collectors of memorable regional retail brands.
Brooks Pharmacy grew from the Adams Drug Company, a family-owned Pawtucket, Rhode Island operation founded by the Salmanson family in 1933. Adams acquired Brooks Drug stores in Vermont and New York. Pantry Pride acquired Adams in 1984, and in 1986 its stores adopted the Brooks name. Hook-SupeRx bought the chain in 1988; Brooks introduced its RxWatch computerized prescription service in 1991. Revco acquired Hook-SupeRx in 1994 and sold 221 New England stores and a Connecticut distribution facility to the Jean Coutu Group. Under Jean Coutu, Brooks expanded through acquisitions, including City Drug in 1999 and 80 Osco Drug stores in 2001. In 2004, Jean Coutu acquired about 1,539 Eckerd pharmacies. Brooks and Eckerd operations were combined, but integration difficulties contributed to declining market share. Rite Aid announced its purchase of Jean Coutu's U.S. division in 2006. On June 4, 2007, Brooks announced the sale of its pharmacies to Rite Aid; the Brooks trade name was retired as locations were rebranded, sold, or closed.
