Wahpeton Drug Company [gone]
Wahpeton, ND		 Chase Pharmacy
Garrison, ND
The Wahpeton Drug Company opened in 1929. It was later known as Wahpeton Drug and Gift. The store closed in 2023 and this sign was gone by 2024.

The Chase Pharmacy sign never had neon, as evidenced by the dual lights installed on both sides of the sign. The store must have gone by another name originally since it has tacked on panels above and below. The bottom of the sign surely reads "Drugs." Those panels have been there since at least 2007. There were still Rexall panels on the front of the building in 2016. [map]

Bert's Drug Store [gone]
Hastings, NE
The Bert's Drug Store signs were probably from the 1940s or 1950s. There store was still operating in 2022 when it was destroyed by fire. The building was demolished. The sign on the far left was saved and is displayed at the Hastings Museum.

L.T. Pedley Drug
Minden, NE
L.T. Pedley Drug was established in 1907 and is still operating. The sign's neon has been replaced with LED tubing. For more, see this website. [map]

Chief Drug
Tecumseh, NE
Chief Drug was founded in 1936. [map]

Franklin Drug
Franklin, NE
Franklin Drug was established in 2018, opening in a former beauty salon. The Rexall sign was located next door and was moved over at that point. The space next door was housing the L&D Rexall by 1948. By 1958 and at least into the mid-1960s, it was known as Andelt's Rexall. [map]

Omaha [gone]

Rexall Drug
Hampton Beach, NH
This Rexall Drug features the trademark blue and orange storefront as well as a nice free-standing sign and Coppertone clock. The store is right on the beach and sells the full gamut of souvenirs, clothing, etc. (as well as a generous amount of sunblock). The signage indicates that this was originally the Donovan & Fallon Drug Store which opened here in 1927. At some point, it became part of the Rexall chain and changed the look of its storefront considerably. There was a fire in 2007 but it doesn't sound like it affected the status of the store. [map]

Buckland Pharmacy [gone]
Belen, NM		 Rexall
Hatch, NM
The Buckland Pharmacy was established in 1909. The store closed in 2022 and these signs are gone.

This oval Rexall sign is displayed at the Hatch Trading Post. I don't know where it was originally located. [map]

Rexall
Hatch, NM
The top and bottom panels of this Rexall sign are displayed inside Sparky's restaurant. I don't know what happened to the Rexall panel in the middle or where this sign was installed originally.

McGill Drug
McGill, NV		 Rex Drug Co.
Yerington, NV
This oval Rexall sign in McGill hangs in front of the former McGill Drug store which operated from 1915 to 1979. Since 1995, the building has housed the McGill Drugstore Museum and this sign remains. [map]

The Rex Drug Co. opened in 1905 and is still in business. [map]

McCann's Pharmacy
Hudson Falls, NY		 Sullivan's Rexall [gone]
Lake George, NY		 Beaver's Pharmacy
Canisteo, NY

McCann's Pharmacy opened here in 1946. This sign has a unique shape. If there were any other Rexall signs produced like this, it may be the only one left. For more, see this website. [map]

The Sullivan's Rexall sign appeared to consist of applied decals over vitrolite. The glass was Rexall orange so I assume the business had been there for a long time. The decals were probably applied much later. This photo is from 2011. By 2014, the store was gone and the signs had either been covered up or removed.

Beaver's Pharmacy was established in 1936. It was known as Barker's Pharmacy before that. [map]

Miller Drug Store
Haverstraw, NY		 Green's Pharmacy [gone]
Port Clinton, OH
The Miller Drug Store sign is double-sided and must have projected from the building originally. The store has housed different businesses but the sign remains. [map]

Green's Pharmacy had been here since 1872. These plastic signs were probably from the 1950s or 1960s. All of the signs were gone by 2021. There was also a porcelain Rexall panel on the back of the building which is also gone.
