In addition to a pharmacy, each store carries a wide variety of health-care and household items--from nutritional supplements to cleaning supplies to snack foods. Flu clinics are held at various locations throughout the flu season.

Only one that carries my medication

by myers18111

I got a prescription for a relatively new medication. I couldn't find it at any pharmacy, but this one has had it both times I needed it, and their computer lookup system told them exactly where on the shelf the medication was to be found. Prompt service. Friendly people.

• Pros: They carry what I need. It is next to my hospital.
• Cons: ?
