Longs Drugs

Longs Drugs is an American chain with approximately 40 drug stores throughout the state of Hawaii.

Before being acquired by CVS Health in 2008, it was a chain of over 500 stores, located primarily on the West Coast of the United States. Besides Hawaii, it had stores located in California, Nevada, Arizona, Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington, and was headquartered in Walnut Creek, California.

History

The first store owned by the Long family was in Covelo, California.

  • Longs Stores was founded in 1938 as Longs Self-Service Drugs, by brothers Thomas and Joseph Long (son-in-law of Marion Barton Skaggs, co-founder of Safeway Inc.), with the opening of their first store on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland, California.
  • Longs opens its first store in Hawaii, on March 29, 1954, in Honolulu.
  • Longs first store in a shopping center opens in 1955.
  • In 1971 Longs reports sales of $169 million from its 54 stores. Shares of the company become listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol LDG.

    Radical Science

    by: Lungs

    If I learnt anymore left I'd be eating dirt,
    but I refuse to fall for any old platitude to peace,
    a murmur heard under the din of the real world.
    Those parentally invested bohemian pretensions
    are wearing thin and thinly-veiled
    like the hip in hippie and hypocrite.
    So open-minded your brain's falling out.
