A new drug store location in Seattle\u2019s Greenwood neighborhood will mark Bartell Drugs\u2019 80th<\/sup> anniversary of operation there.\u00a0 The store, housed in a former Blockbuster location, will be one of the largest in the chain at 16,085 square feet and feature Bartell\u2019s \u2018Next Generation\u2019 format. The concept was developed in 2011 and has continued with new store openings through this year. The format includes its \u2018Urban Market,\u2019 \u2018Sweets and Snacks,\u2019 and \u2018Fresh Beauty\u2019 sections as well as an enlarged full-service pharmacy and a \u2018Greenwood Growler Station\u2019 offering six regionally produced beers.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1890, Bartells is the nation\u2019s oldest family-owned drugstore chain.\u00a0 The new location is adjacent to the current Greenwood location and will mark the company\u2019s 61st<\/sup> drugstore when it opens October 13th<\/sup>. A grand opening ceremony is scheduled for October 26th<\/sup> to commemorate Bartells\u2019 80th<\/sup> year in operation in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Chain Store Guide\u2019s<\/strong> 2013 Drug Industry Market Share Report<\/a><\/em> shows that Bartell is the number three pharmacy operator in the Seattle core-based statistical area (CBSA) based on prescription market share percentage. It\u2019s the rare case where a strong, regional retailer is competing effectively against one or all of the \u2018big three\u2019 players (CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid). In Seattle, Bartell holds is own against Walgreens and Rite Aid; since 2012, it has increased market share considerably. Based on Walgreens recent acquisition of Kerr Drug, Bartell might be a possible acquisition target for CVS, which was no presence in the state of Washington.<\/p>\n
