Note that although no longer based in the state, Eckerd was headquartered in Florida for many years, and that's my justification for including it in WP:FLA.
I could do a major rant on the evils of consolidation, mergers and other practices of big business...but I'll just say that with there being no more Eckerds, to me Florida has lost (another) piece of its soul...

There appear to be some discrepancies between news reports and analyst’s reports about the Penney's / Eckerd acquisition. Some reports suggest Eckerd was acquired for 4.4 billion, others 3.3, and others 2.3. I cannot find a verifiable FTC document showing a verifiable number. Also, Fay's Drugs did not change its name until the final deal with Eckerd, therefore I added it to the list of Thrift Drug stores in the unit.

I've removed New Mexico from the list of places where Eckerd does business because none of the stores opened after JC Penney sold them. http://albuquerque.bizjournals.com/albuquerque/stories/2006/09/04/story7.html?jst=s_cn_hl
