GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Bring a small reminder of neighborhood retail history to a desk or meeting. Peoples Drug began in Alexandria in 1905 and grew through new locations, acquisitions, and changing ownership into a familiar regional chain. By 1944, its stores operated under the Peoples Drugs, Days Drug, and Shearer Drug names. The remaining stores took the CVS name in May 1994, closing a chapter for the brand. This business card holder suits collectors and former customers who value a tangible connection to that story.
Peoples Drug was founded in 1905 by Malcolm Gibbs in Alexandria, Virginia. It soon opened a Washington, D.C., location on 7th Street NW and moved to a larger site at Mount Vernon Square in 1909. A second location followed in 1912, with two more added in 1916. By 1944, the business operated 130 stores under the Peoples Drugs, Days Drug, and Shearer Drug names. In 1970, its 252 stores served customers across the District of Columbia and ten states. Lane Drug bought a 22 percent interest in 1972 and acquired the chain outright in 1975, forming a 380-store company that retained the Peoples name alongside several other drugstore brands. Imasco acquired Peoples in 1984 and pursued a program to bring many locations under the Peoples Drug name, while also selling stores and divisions in subsequent years. Melville Corporation, owner of CVS, purchased the remaining chain in 1990. CVS continued operating stores under the Peoples banner while remodeling many to its own format. In May 1994, the stores adopted the CVS name, ending the Peoples Drug name’s use in the chain.
