In 1995, Mr. Stein sold his business to Revco Drug Stores, then the second largest drug chain in the U.S. At the time of the sale, one of his stores was ranked third in sales volume out of Revco's entire chain of 2,500 stores. Mr. Stein was able to achieve this significant success with his business by emphasizing superior service in a highly competitive marketplace and, as a result, was able to expand the size of the store twice.
