Eaton drugstore closed its last remaining store in Salem on Canal Street in 2010. At one time, Eaton's had stores on Lafayette, North, New Derby Street and two on Essex Street. Walgreens acquired 12 Eaton Apothecary pharmacies in the Boston area. Two remaining stores are in Lynn.
Eaton's was started in the 1920's by F. Elmer Eaton, whose first store, Eaton the Druggist, was at the corner of Essex and St. Peter Streets.
The Eaton's stores in Danvers and Marblehead, part of the acquisition, are now called "Eaton Apothecary, a Walgreens pharmacy". The era of independent drugstores seem to have ended, as the two major chains, Walgreens and CVS take over most of the prescription business in the country.
