Revco was a pharmacy chain that Randy Johnson remembers from childhood, and he talks about it as both a boring place his mother dragged him into and later a favorite store where he bought Atari 2600 games cheaply.
Randy's Memory
Randy says Revco was the kind of place he visited only a few times a year for basics such as prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicine, and school supplies, and that he hated those trips because the store felt dull.
He then says that in 1983, after getting an Atari 2600, he learned Revco was selling games for about $5 to $5.50 each, far less than other stores, and that this changed his view of the chain completely.
In Randy's recollection, Revco later became one of his favorite stores in Morristown, and he remembers it fondly because of those game purchases.
