GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Introduce a new generation to a familiar name in regional retail with this Revco Discount Drug Stores Infant Bodysuit. Revco began in Detroit in 1956 as the Registered Vitamin Company and grew into a major drugstore chain remembered by shoppers across several regions. Its story of expansion, bankruptcy, recovery, and eventual transition to CVS captures the changing face of American pharmacy culture. A keepsake-minded choice for families with Revco memories and collectors who enjoy sharing the history of beloved local and regional brands.
Revco 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 After a proposed 1996 sale to Rite Aid was withdrawn amid antitrust concerns, CVS Pharmacy acquired Revco in February 1997 for $2.8 billion.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.
