Sav-on Drugs, which leases 25,000 sq.ft. at 864 Swarthmore from the American Legion, plans a complete renovation of the interior of its store, which offers a full range of services, from prescription drugs to cosmetics. There will be new flooring, shelving and lighting, and the pharmacy will be revamped, said spokesperson Karen Ramos, speaking from Albertsons corporate office in Scottsdale, Arizona. ‘And there will be all new state-of-the-art equipment.’ The food giant, which owns the Sav-on chain, operates 650 stores across the United States, half of them in Southern California. The Palisades store, among the largest in the chain, opened on July 8, 1982 and was last remodeled seven years ago. Ramos said it will remain open while the improvements, which are scheduled to begin in March, are underway. The work is expected to take three to five months.
