Makes me think you didn't read the article or understand the point of view. Retail stores like Woolworth's, JJ Newberry, and TG & Y were national retail chain stores, once called dime stores. Pay attention to the topic, because some of us that read the entire article and comments were completely shocked how people don't know the difference between regional retail chain and national chain stores. Oh, and by the way Savon Drug stores indeed were acquired by CVS Drug stores, a regional and a national store respectively, but at some locations you may find just a CVS prescription drug pharmacy (stand alone), CVS (prescriptions only) inside a Target, or a giant CVS drug store. Thrifty lives on in California inside the Rite-Aide where they sell the pre-packed Thrifty ice cream. However, a few locations of Rite-Aide do have ice cream service.
