I'm guessing they all did back in the day, also Drug Fairs and other chain and most mom-and-pop drug stores. And I remember them as uniformly wonderful, with great soups, grilled cheese sandwiches, open turkey platters, etc., to go with the soda fountain favorites like brown cows, sundaes, banana splits, etc. You couldn't beat the price for what you got. What memories! When CVS bought Peoples, I couldn't understand why you would want the name of your store to be "CVS" rather than "Peoples." That was probably my first clue as to what corporate conformity was all about. They didn't care what anyone thought about the name or about making every one of them exactly the same, in fact that was the goal. If they could wave a wand and make each of us consumers exactly the same, too, they would do it in a heartbeat.
