Sav-on Drugs

Sav-on Drugs is a prominent retail pharmacy brand in the United States, currently operating primarily as Sav-on Pharmacy within grocery stores owned by Albertsons Companies. Founded in 1945, the company was a pioneer in the self-service drugstore model and grew into a major chain before its acquisition by American Stores and later Albertsons. While many standalone locations were rebranded to CVS Pharmacy following a 2006 divestiture, the Sav-on brand remains a core component of the pharmacy operations in Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions stores. The company provides essential healthcare services including prescription dispensing, immunizations, and health screenings. It serves as a critical community health touchpoint, integrating pharmaceutical care with retail grocery services across the Western United States.
