GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Bring a touch of pharmacy history to everyday notes with this Peoples Drug sticky note pad. Founded in Alexandria, Virginia, in 1905, the company expanded from its first store to a familiar presence in Washington, D.C., and across the eastern United States. After decades of growth and ownership changes, stores adopted the CVS name in 1994. The Peoples Drug story remains a vivid connection to neighborhood shopping and local memories, making this pad a distinctive desk accessory for former customers and history-minded collectors.
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.
