Add a touch of Seattle retail history to a desk with this Pay 'n Save sticky note pad. Founded in 1940, the company grew from drugstores into a broad retail group with hardware, nursery, department store, and discount banners. Its story of expansion, acquisitions, and changing names makes it a memorable subject for collectors and anyone interested in the businesses that shaped western communities. Keep it nearby for reminders, lists, and quick notes, or include it in a collection of regional retail memorabilia.
Founded by Monte Lafayette Bean in Seattle in 1940, Pay 'n Save grew from a drugstore business into a regional retail company. Bean and his son, M. Lamont Bean, opened its first drugstore in 1947 at Fourth Avenue and Pike Street. The company acquired Seattle hardware chain Ernst in 1960 and Malmo Nursery in 1962, combining their offerings in Ernst-Malmo stores. It acquired Rhodes department stores in 1965, renaming suburban locations Lamonts in 1970, and bought Bi-Mart and Yard Birds in 1976. Later additions included Price Savers Warehouse and Schuck's Auto Supply. At its peak, the company operated 313 stores across ten western states, Canada, and Great Britain under several retail names. Sold to the Trump Group in 1984, Pay 'n Save tried a bargain-focused format in 1986 and reported a loss of nearly $50 million in 1987. After becoming Seattle Standard Corp. in 1986, it returned to the Pay 'n Save name. Thrifty Corporation acquired its drugstores in 1988; PayLess Drug acquired them in 1992 and retired the name. Most divisions were spun off or closed. Bi-Mart, sold separately and employee-owned since 2003, was identified in the source as the only surviving division in 2023.
