GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Mark the enduring place of Osco in the story of American neighborhood retail. From early self-service drugstores to the first Jewel-Osco combination store in Chicago, the brand reflected changing ways to shop and find pharmacy services. Osco began as a name coined from Owners Service Company in 1942, and it continued inside grocery stores even after standalone locations changed hands. This pullover suits collectors and longtime shoppers drawn to familiar retail history.
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.
