ADAMS DRUGS
- Chain drugstore - many locations all over RI,
later it was taken over by BROOKS.
Pawtucket base Adams Drug Company, a family owned
operation which was founded in 1932 by the Salmanson Family.
Adams, at one point, acquired several stores under the Brooks
Drug banner in Vermont and New York, and also operated stores
under several other different trade names throughout the Northeast.
I packed cigarette orders in the summer of 1987 at their warehouse on Sabin St in Pawtucket...
ReplyDeleteI worked in the Adams Drugs in Middletown next to Zayres
ReplyDeleteI remember that one. Actually, Adams was next to Star Market and Star Market was attached to Zayre. On the other side of Adams Drugs was Radio Shack, which is the only original store still there.
DeleteThere was a Radio Shack in the Gansett plaza next to Adams in East Providence, Star Market was on the other corner of the plaza. Good memories.
