Revco started in Detroit in 1956 as the Registered Vitamin Company and grew into a major chain serving communities across the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast. The company weathered bankruptcy, emerged independently in 1992, and later joined CVS in 1997. Its rise and transition remain part of late twentieth-century pharmacy history, making this a fitting choice for former shoppers and brand collectors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRevco began in 1956 in Detroit, Michigan, as the Registered Vitamin Company, founded by Sidney Dworkin and Bernie Shulman. It grew into a major drugstore chain serving the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeastern United States, and was later based in Twinsburg, Ohio. By 1983 it operated more than 2,200 stores, but problems following its purchase of New Jersey closeout retailer Odd Lot Trading Co. and a costly move into non-drug merchandise weakened the business. A 1986 leveraged buyout, store closures, debt, and inventory shortages led to bankruptcy in 1988. Investor Sam Zell helped fund a recovery, and Revco emerged as an independent company in 1992 after closing underperforming locations, reducing costs, and introducing computerized point-of-sale systems and a redesigned store layout. The chain expanded again, buying more than 800 Hook's\/SupeRx stores in 1994 and Birmingham-based Big B Drugs in 1996. After a proposed 1996 sale to Rite Aid was withdrawn amid antitrust concerns, CVS Pharmacy acquired Revco in February 1997 for $2.8 billion. The agreement required divestitures of stores in Virginia and the Binghamton, New York area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGet your audience in the zone with these personalized golf balls.
