The Bartell Drug Company, commonly known as Bartell Drugs or "Bartell's", is 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[2] until it was sold to Rite Aid in 2020.
