Drug Fair is a now-defunct pharmacy chain that was based in New Jersey, United States. The chain was founded in 1954 and was known for its wide range of pharmaceutical products and services.

History

Drug Fair was known for its commitment to providing high-quality pharmaceutical care and a wide range of products, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, and health and wellness products.

In 2009, Drug Fair filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and sold most of its stores to Walgreens, a leading pharmacy chain in the United States. The remaining stores were closed, marking the end of the Drug Fair brand.

Impact

It was one of the first pharmacy chains in the state and set a standard for customer service and product range in the industry. The chain's closure also had a significant impact on the local economy, with many employees losing their jobs and many communities losing a vital health resource.
