Trivia: Which drugstore chain doubled in size every year for 16 years after 1961?
Walgreens
Rite-Aid
Eckerd
CVS
Correct Answer: Eckerd
So why is this answer correct? : Eckerd was founded in 1898 in Pennsylvania, but it didn’t reach its full potential until the founder’s son, Jack Eckerd, implemented some forward-thinking policies at a handful of stores in Florida. Thanks to changes such as larger aisles, expanding into cosmetics and snacks, and offering photography services, the chain doubled in size every year for 16 years after going public in 1961. By 1978, Eckerd was the second-largest drugstore chain in the U.S. (after Walgreens).
