GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Add a familiar name from retail history to your desk or study routine. Osco began with the self-service drugstore tradition and took its name from Owners Service Company in 1942. The brand later became part of grocery-pharmacy combinations and remained visible inside grocery stores, even as standalone locations changed owners. This note pad brings a touch of pharmacy nostalgia to everyday reminders and makes a thoughtful desk keepsake for former shoppers and brand collectors.
Osco Drug grew from a Skaggs family tradition of self-service retail. L.J. Skaggs opened a self-service drugstore in Tacoma, Washington, in 1934. L.L. Skaggs opened a Midwest chain in Rochester, Minnesota, in 1937, first using the name Pay-Less. In 1942, the business became Owners Service Company, from which the name Osco was coined, and moved its headquarters from Waterloo, Iowa, to Chicago. The Jewel Companies acquired 30 Osco stores in 1961; the first Jewel-Osco combination store opened in Chicago in 1962. Jewel acquired Sav-on Drugs, founded by Christian J. Call in San Bernardino in 1945, in November 1980. American Stores acquired Jewel in 1984 and organized its drugstore holdings under American Drug Stores in 1989. Sav-on stores briefly adopted the Osco name in 1986, then returned to Sav-on in 1989. Albertsons acquired American Stores in 1999. In 2006, CVS bought the standalone Osco and Sav-on stores, which were rebranded as CVS Pharmacy by 2007. Osco and Sav-on names continued for pharmacies inside grocery stores. SuperValu acquired Jewel and other grocery divisions in 2006; those operations later passed to Cerberus in 2013.
