- Thrifty PayLess Holdings, Inc. was a pharmacy holding company that owned the Thrifty Drugs and PayLess Drug Stores chains in the western United States. The combined company was formed in April 1994 when Los Angeles-based TCH Corporation, the parent company of Thrifty Corporation and Thrifty Drug Stores, Inc., acquired the Kmart subsidiary PayLess Drug Stores Northwest, Inc.[1] At the time of the merger, TCH Corporation was renamed Thrifty PayLess Holdings, Inc. and Thrifty operated 495 stores, PayLess operated 543 stores.
In 1996, Rite Aid acquired 1,000 West Coast stores from Thrifty PayLess Holdings, creating a chain with over 3,500 drug stores
That Thrifty jingle was still being played on KHJ radio in LA in the late 60s.
The Ice Cream still is sold at the Rite Aid in Glendale.
More places than just Glendale!
Loved their ice cream
I remember the Thrifty as a kid at Ventura and Laurel Canyon. That's where mom bought me ice cream cones. The Sav-On up the street had them too, but for slightly more. I still see "Thrifty" ice cream in Rite Aid. I'll need to check who actually makes it, as it's just the old name they slap on the cartons.
Have you ever been to Placentia where are the historic George Key Ranch have you been there 🤔👍📲👩🌾🧑🌾

Love your videos! In the future I would love to see a video about Valencia Town Center Mall in Santa Clarita. My childhood mall :)
in the 1970... 5 cent for 2 scoops!
My paternal Grandma was the first female forklift operator at the "Akron" warehouse in LA County and the Local Teamsters Union Hall.

I know why. Sav-On had more toys. :)
