Carry a reminder of regional pharmacy history on your travels with this Brooks Pharmacy passport cover. The brand grew from Adams Drug Company, a family-owned business founded by the Salmanson family in Pawtucket in 1933, and became familiar across New England and New York. Brooks expanded through acquisitions, including City Drug and Osco stores, before its operations were combined with Eckerd. The sale of Brooks pharmacies to Rite Aid in 2007 marked the end of the name on many local storefronts. A distinctive keepsake for travelers who collect company history.
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.
