Today
Today Discount Drug Mart continues to expand across Ohio, although it has no plans to go nationwide. The mid to late 90’s brought a change to the faces of many of the old stores as they were remodeled, updated, and enlarged. The face of this new store soon became a model for all subsequent stores built, with well over 25,000 square feet (2,300 m2) of space.
Recently, all 70 stores began offering a limited number of fresh produce items such as Potatoes, Bananas, Carrots, Onions, and other fruits and vegetables as they are seasonally available. This was a departure from the store’s normal operating procedure, as many food items offered in the past were limited to those that were non-perishable with long shelf life. Customers however, seem to enjoy the addition of fresh produce. It's another way Discount Drug Mart has become 'More Than Just a Drugstore' which is one of their catch phases.
Discount Drug Mart continues its tradition of remaining open 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The store is only open for half a day on Christmas and Thanksgiving.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“I remember a very important lesson that my father gave me when I was twelve or thirteen. He said, “You know, today I welded a perfect seam and I signed my name to it.” And I said, “But, Daddy, no one’s going to see it!” And he said, “Yeah, but I know it’s there.” So when I was working in kitchens, I did good work.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
“We do not know today whether we are busy or idle. In times when we thought ourselves indolent, we have afterwards discovered, that much was accomplished, and much was begun in us.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Give me insight into today and you may have the antique and future worlds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
