Really it's the opposite. It's called a pharmacy, but in practice it is a convenience store first, and a pharmacy second. Often times the pharmacy is closed, has restricted hours, is understaffed, etc.
- chrisco255 3y agoNot really. Walgreens and CVS are basically this, and many of them have 24 hour pharmacies.
- thsksbd 3y agoWhere in the US do you live that you have easy access to a 24 hour pharmacy? In my corner of the USA the only 24 hour pharmacy is in the children's hospital, about 15 miles away from my house. I have three hospitals with ERs within 5 miles but no pharmacy.
- bombcar 3y agoWalgreens has quite a few around here. It’s something they advertise. They were much more common before Covid, when places like Walmart were 24 hours.
- Cheer2171 3y agoAny major metropolitan area. Walgreens has dozens of 24 hour pharmacies in the Chicago metro area: https://www.walgreens.com/storelocator/find.jsp?24-hour-pharmacy=true https://www.walgreens.com/storelocator/find.jsp?24-hour-phar...
- jrochkind1 3y agoToday I learned another reason that despite appearances Baltimore is not a "major metropolitan area". I'm not being sarcastic, it really doesn't have the economy of one. But I also wonder if it's just the very largest cities that have easy 24 hour pharmacy access.
- rascul 3y ago> But I also wonder if it's just the very largest cities that have easy 24 hour pharmacy access. I live near a city with population of about 50k. It has a 24 hour Walgreens.
- marssaxman 3y agoWow! I live in a city which is fifteen times larger, and there is no Walgreens open later than 10 PM (nor Rite Aid, nor Bartell); the pharmacies generally close by 8. I wonder why some places get better service than we do?
- pionar 3y agoI live in suburban Detroit, and there's a few 24 hour CVS and Walgreen's near me.
- bigbillheck 3y agoThere's both a Walgreens and a CVS near me, and both of their pharmacies close at 6pm. The nearest 24hour pharmacy is not quite two hours away.
