Topic: Building Your Own Business Legacy

What would you do differently if you knew your business would be around for one hundred years? According to Jean Bartell Barber, Vice Chairman of Bartell Drugs, longevity takes more than luck. It takes planning. No business is too young or too small to ignore strategic planning.

Bartell Drugs is the oldest family owned drugstore chain in the nation. Founded in 1890 by a young pharmacist named George Bartell Sr., the company continues to thrive with 57 stores throughout the Puget Sound region. Together, the Bartell family and employee associates have built an extremely successful company. And Jean Bartell Barber, the founder's granddaughter, and current Vice Chairman and Treasurer of the company, once wanted no part of it.
