Eckerd/Decor packages

A detailed look at the various decor packages used by Eckerd pharmacies, up until their dissolution in 2007.

While Eckerd no longer operates, following the acquisition of their stores by CVS and Rite Aid, their decor can still be found in some unrenovated stores, and stores that have remained vacant since the winding down of Eckerd operations.

Art Deco (1980s-90s?)
The Art Deco decor package dates to sometime in the 1980s and 90s, and is named for the neon, art-deco style signs used to sign certain departments, such as Cosmetics and Pharmacy. Other features of the decor include small "Food Mart" signage, accompanied by large photos of drinks and foods on the wall for this department, a blue line near the top of the wall above the shelving, and simple, rectangular aisle signs featuring a stylized number on a small triangle at the top.

A Pharmacy First/Squiggles (????-2007)
"A Pharmacy First", also known as Squiggles, is believed to be the last decor package put into use by the chain in both the South and the North. So named for the "A Pharmacy First" lettering near the main pharmacy sign, or the "squiggles" used as a backing for parts of the wall decor, this decor package also features a Pharmacy sign with white lettering on a solid blue background and a red/orange stripe underneath, "Welcome to Eckerd" neon at the entrance, and large photos as part of the decor.
