The Bartell Drug Company, commonly known as Bartell Drugs or "Bartell's", was an American chain of pharmacies in the Puget Sound region of the State of Washington. The company was founded in 1890 in Seattle and grew to primarily serve the surrounding metropolitan area.
Bartell was believed to be the nation's oldest existing family-owned drugstore chain until it was sold to Rite Aid in 2020. The chain became entangled in Rite Aid's financial difficulties, having closed around half of its stores by 2025; its remaining stores were then acquired and rebranded by CVS Pharmacy as Rite Aid underwent a full liquidation.
