BartellDrugs130Anniversary

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2020 | Special Advertising Section 1 R 2 BARTELL DRUGS | KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY HEALTHY AND WELL FOR 130 YEARS Being part of Bartell Drugs has been a wonder- ful and inspiring journey. After spending the past few decades with various retail companies, I’ve found one fact that remains constant: The path to success starts with putting people first. It’s our employees and our customers who make Bartell’s successful. Our priorities revolve around them. Over the past 130 years, Bartell’s has made it its mission to improve the health and wellbeing of the people of Western Washington. This past year has presented challenges and uncertainty, and as a Pacific Northwest organiza- tion, I’m proud of how we we’ve been able to continue providing excellent service to our neighbors. We are delighted to be a part of this wonderful region. Our brand pillars exem- plify what Bartell’s stands for: Localness, Customer Service, Health and Well- ness, and Community. Every decision we make is influenced by these pillars. Localness As a local business, we love supporting other local businesses. Throughout 2020, we focused on show- casing Pacific Northwest stores and organiza- tions that shine with our Locals Supporting Locals program. You can find more than 3,000 regional products from 150 suppli- ers on our shelves, many of which were sold first and exclusively at Bartell’s. Our Since its earlier days in Seattle, Bartell Drugs has made it its mission to improve the health and wellbeing of local residents.

Customer Service It might seem like a small thing, but the height of our shelves is intentionally low, which means you can see from one end of the store to the other to more easily find what you’re looking for. From the pharmacy counter to the front of the store, we strive to have a friendly team that makes sure you’re well taken care of and have help finding what you need — if you want help. If you don’t, you may explore our aisles and unique product assortment to your heart’s content. You’ll see that Bartell’s is a bit like an old-time general store that has everything you need, from hardware to electronics, face creams to food and wine. There’s no need to leave the neighbor- hood if you have a Bartell Drugs nearby.
