Bartell drugs set for “next generation” store renovations, new website, health and wellness initiatives and expanded community partnerships in 2012. Three generations of the Bartell family have continuously focused on the future--and how the Seattle-based drugstore chain could better serve its customers. In 2012, Bartell Drugs continues several initiatives begun in 2011, launches a new website and introduces new community partnerships. Founded in 1890, the nation's oldest family-owned drugstore chain currently plans renovations at several stores, including Magnolia and Edmonds. The stores will feature elements of a striking new interior concept introduced at the Bartell's store in Seattle's Roosevelt Square in the fall of 2011. Bartells developed the new “store of the future” floorplan and design in conjunction with the Bellevue-based Hartman Group, a nationally-recognized consumer consulting firm. New product areas, including the inviting new “Fresh Beauty” cosmetics section, “Urban Market,” “Sweets & Snacks,” “Wellness Courtyard” and “Creative Print Studio,” are spotlighted through the use of attractive lighting, signage and bright new displays. Bartells continues a program of adding more natural, organic and locally-produced products. These include probiotic products, new supplements, cosmetics, hair coloring, cough and cold remedies, and other categories.
