Those whose greenbacks feature George and Abe rather than Andrew and Ulysses may very well shop at Fred's. Generally serving customers with modest incomes, Fred's operates about 350 discount stores in 11 southeastern states, primarily in small towns. Fred's stores carry 12,000 brand-name, off-brand, and private-label products, including pharmaceuticals, household goods, clothing, linens, health and beauty aids, food, tobacco products, and cleaning supplies. Some 60% of its stores have pharmacies; it also fills mail-order prescriptions. The company, growing by about 20 stores each year, also provides goods and services to about 25 franchised Fred's stores.
