Duane __: New York drugstore chain (5)

I believe the answer is:

reade

(Other definitions for reade that I've seen before include "Roman name for York" , "Charles -, The Cloister and the Hearth author" , "Charles --, English novelist" , "Victorian writer" , "Victorian author" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
