Product Details & Size Guide
Celebrate the story of Sav-on Pharmacy, a familiar regional name that began in San Bernardino in 1945 and grew into a Southern California chain. The company reached 100 stores in 1975, passed through several major retail owners, and saw its name restored in 1989 after stores had been renamed Osco. Sav-on apparel offers collectors and former customers a wearable connection to pharmacy history and the changing identities of American stores. A natural choice for casual wear or a history-minded collection.
Sav-on Drugs began in San Bernardino, California, in July 1945, founded by Christian J. Call. It grew into a Southern California pharmacy chain, reaching 100 stores in 1975 and 141 by August 1980, with locations in California, Houston, and Las Vegas. The Jewel Companies acquired Sav-on in November 1980, bringing it into the same corporate family as Osco Drug; Sav-on became Osco's Western Region. American Stores acquired Jewel in 1984 and changed Sav-on stores to the Osco name in 1986, but restored the Sav-on Drugs brand in 1989. The company expanded its California operations through acquisitions, including CVS stores in 1992 and Clark Drug stores in 1995. Albertsons acquired American Stores in 1999. In 2006, the sale of Albertsons divided its businesses: CVS Corporation bought the standalone Osco and Sav-on drugstores, which were rebranded as CVS Pharmacy by 2007, while grocery-store pharmacies retained the Osco or Sav-on names. SuperValu acquired Jewel, ACME, Shaw's, and other stores in the transaction, then sold its grocery operations to Cerberus in 2013. Sav-on Pharmacy continues as an in-store pharmacy brand in some markets.
