PROFILE |
 |
Longs Drug Stores wants to be known for being short on hassle and long on service. A leading drugstore chain, with about 430 stores in the western US and Hawaii, Longs prides itself on customer service. Long known for giving store managers autonomy to select merchandise, its stores add local flavor by carrying specialty items popular in the neighborhoods they serve. With larger stores than rivals such as CVS and Walgreen, the company surpasses the industry average when it comes to selling higher-margin front-store items such as cosmetics, food, greeting cards, and over-the-counter medications. The Long family owns about 11% of the company; employees own about 20%.
