Bring Back Longs Drugs Stores
That very first store is the very store that you see on this blog in the photo above the wording in this blog.
I know that it would not have been the choice of the founders Tom & Joe Long - To put the company , its stores up for sale as the president of the company did in 2008.
Over the years after the very first store was opened Longs has become a house hold name since then.
It should remain that way, to keep it going we must get Longs Drugs Stores back in the very state that it started in, that state again is California.
And after that it will gradually get back the very locations that it had from the beginning , as it expanded across the state.
And it will gradually grow in the states that Longs was in besides its home state of California- &
As it does that it will remain in the Hawaiian Islands...
It was a very bad thing that the president of Longs did in 2008- He did a major dis-service to the founders Tom & Joe Long , to the company , its stores , to the customers of Longs Drugs Stores- by selling it to another retailer that is in the same industry as Longs is in all he did a major dis- Service by selling the company , its stores in all.
Longs was not hurting in any way at all in fact they were doing a lot better then Rite Aid , Walgreen's , many other retailers as well.
There was no real , logical reason to sell the company , its stores at all.
If that one person was so tired of being the president of the company , its stores then he could have stepped down , allowed another person to carry on the founders legacy , more, keep the stores running , if at all expand the company even bigger then it was then.
The link below this typing is a tribute to the founders of Longs Drugs Stores: Tom & Joe Long, below that is many Longs commercials that have aired when Longs Drugs was in this state , other states including the Hawaiian Islands , one of them states that there is a lot of Longs in California -There is a lot of California in Longs...
That is a true statement even today Longs Drugs stores began in California & it should remain in this state , with that Longs expanded in to other states over the years , they should remain there as well.
C.V.S. can stay in California but first they must give Longs back to California , the loyal longs customers , employees like myself, give all its original buildings back to Longs as well.
I have worked for three stores of Longs , before that I read about Longs in the 50th Anniversary book that I still have , it more then inspired when I read about the founders , the company & what made it where I wanted to work for , at Longs Drugs..
When I did at the age of 16 on up I carried on the legacy , more of the founders , what they have done in making Longs what it was , still can be.
When I worked at the three stores I kept the legacy , the tradition of caring alive , strong & help Longs continue with the excellent service that Longs has done more then once in its years of business.
And with the tribute video that I have the link to on here is another way to keep the legacy , remembrance of the founders alive , strong , to help keep Longs going strong . longer lasting.
If Longs was still in California in what in business would be considered its birth state Id still work at Longs Drugs Stores to continue the tradition of Caring , to carry , keep the legacy of the brothers/ founders of Longs Drugs on going , strong .
Longs Drugs Stores was known as a house held name , with that Longs was a family oriented company , store.
Longs has had many true , strong logos or sayings , many of them were:
Longs Drugs Stores
( Where Everybody Saves )( Longs belongs to you )
( Take The Longs Way Home )
( The Best Little Drug Store In Town )
( Live Healthy Live Happy Live Longs )
That was just a short number of them that I know of that they have had , used over the years , I know that there may have been many others before those.
Longs Drugs Stores: Was the number one store in California in the Drug Retail industry , over the years it became the that in many other states starting with Arizona , Nevada , Oregon , beyond , its still staying that in the Hawaiian Islands.
I am known by many of my friends as a: Longs Drugs Store Historian & that is another way that I have been able to keep the legacy , remembrance of the founders Tom & Joe Long , of Longs Drugs Stores , the Tradition of Caring , more alive , strong.
You will be able to see that in many of my other blogs that I made starting with my blog that i titled: Longs Drugs Stores History from: 1938 - 1988...
There are two sections to it on that blog top to bottom as you scroll down as you read it you will see that.
Longs Drugs , its founders will not be forgotten , I know that they are looking down in a spiritual sense , unhappy that the President of Longs in 2008 put their company , stores up for sale , I am doing what I know they would want to be done to bring Longs Back to California , help grow it bigger then it was , I know that they are more then happy that I have all of what I read , know of , about the company , what they did to start the company , the real reasons of why they started the company , more .
I know that when Longs Drugs is brought back , put back in operation/ in business...
So I again ask , say that we must bring back Longs Drugs Stores now , this time keep it around longer then it was in other words lets correct a stupid mistake that the President of Longs Drugs did in 2008, we can show him that we need to keep the legacy , remembrance of the founders Tom & Joe Long alive ,strong & also keep the tradition of caring alive , strong , on going as well, while we do that we can keep the excellent service strong & on going as well.
Many have said that they want Longs Drugs Stores back , with that since C.V.S Pharmacies has taken it over they have screwed up royally one by leaving the building that Longs founders opened the Longs store in the Bird Cage shopping Center in Citrus Heights , California , many other things they have screwed up on , with that since C.v.s has taken over I have found that the population in many parts of California do not shop there since Longs was taken over that meaning Longs has had their parking lots more packed in more so then C.v.s. has had it since they have been in California to start with so it is more then Logical to give Longs Drugs Stores back to California , many other states that the stores have operated in.
Another way of putting it is that there has been way more foot traffic when Longs was around no matter the way the economy was , has been over the many years Longs was around starting from the very first store that the founders of Longs Drugs Stores: Tom & Joe Long opened the very first store In Oakland, California -On: Piedmont Avenue & 40th -On: May , 12th 1938...
With that Longs has been the only company , store that has considered its customers , its employees part of the Longs Drugs Store Family -...
No other retailer has done that Longs is the only one that has done that.
