The thing I find craziest about Union Square is the number of drugstores. Just along the south end of the square, you've got Walgreen's (a national brand) and Duane Reade (which used to be independent, but is now a local brand for Walgreen's) 600ft. or so apart from each other. How in any way is that sustainable?
- dbattaglia 8y agoAcross the street from my apartment on 14th and 1st there is a Duane Reade and CVS literally attached to each other. It’s pretty crazy. The CVS is old and grungy, Duane Reade newer and larger (3 floors). I suspect those differences, plus possibly prople’s dependence on a certain pharmacy brand (thanks to their health insurance) is what allows them both to stay open.
