The acquisition of the SavOn/Osco stores from the Albertson's chain provided CVS with its first opportunity for private label spirits. At a meeting for acquisition trainers, Larry Merlo reported Tom Ryan's enthusiasm, quoting, "I am not signing my name on a bottle of vodka!"

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or label:
“There is no private house in which people can enjoy themselves so well as at a capital tavern.... No, Sir; there is nothing which has yet been contrived by man by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern or inn.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Teaching Black Studies, I find that students are quick to label a black person who has grown up in a predominantly white setting and attended similar schools as “not black enough.” ...Our concept of black experience has been too narrow and constricting.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
