 PROFILE
Eckerd has been a hard pill to swallow for J. C. Penney Company. The struggling drugstore chain, a subsidiary of J.C. Penney, has about 2,600 stores (after closing about 300 in 2000) in some 20 states, mostly in the Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest. The sale of prescription and over-the-counter drugs accounts for about 64% of sales; Eckerd also sells merchandise such as books and magazines, cosmetics, food, fragrances, greeting cards, and toys. In addition, the chain offers overnight photo services in all stores and one-hour photo developing in a growing number of in-store Express Photo labs. Despite the recent store closings, Eckerd plans to continue opening or relocating some 100 stores each year.
