- The Pharm
The Pharm is a drugstore chain based in
Maumee, Ohio , with locations in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan. Compared to competing drugstores, Pharm stores have a large selection of grocery items. Recently, Pharm stores have adopted a mascot named Discovery Dan. He is clad in a tansafari jacket , has a thick handlebar mustache, and appears in the weekly flier stating that he is your guide for discovering the deals. Oddly, he never seems to speak as his communications always appear in thought bubble form. The parent corporation of The Pharm isSpartan Stores .
