Unfortunately sometime in between July 2014 and May 2015, someone got happy with a lot of brown paint in and around the pharmacy department. Somehow, on most visits I seem to manage to be in here on busy holiday weekends, hence it's often hard to get good pics due to the fact that it's always crowded at the time. In fact, this store seems to be crowded most every weekend for that matter! Anyway, point being, I couldn't get real close to the pickup window due to all the people, but it looked like they had just painted over the paneling, so at least it's still there. Also, despite painting the upper overhead wall brown as well, they didn't replace the old style logo over the pharmacy either!

A 16-wide Modular Chinese Pharmacy built for my expanding Chinatown district. The Ground floor is furnished, the upstairs currently empty.
I wanted something ornate, oriental and a bit run-down.

The design looks like it kinda fizzles out here at the pharmacy corner, with some of those vitamins letters looking a bit weaker than their namesake products would imply. The bigger thing I'm interested in with this picture is the layout of the pharmacy itself: remember that the Stateline Road store in Southaven likely added a pharmacy in that corner spot after opening, according to this photo. This must be what it would have looked like in a store built with a corner pharmacy.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
This is the Dunham's Sports store located at 2835 Highway 27 South within the Grand Central Place shopping center in Somerset, KY. Wal-Mart originally opened here in 1985 after moving from their original location, which was a smaller store which was originally a former Kuhn's Big K (which opened in 1981; it is now home to a large Big Lots). It originally had a pharmacy, a snack bar and a photo lab as special features during their entire stay here. They then moved to the current Supercenter in June 2000, leaving this store vacant until November 2009, when Dunham's Sports opened in the entrance part of the building. The rest of the building still remains vacant.
UPDATE (November 12, 2011): The other half of the store will become a Hobby Lobby. It is scheduled to open in Christmas or early January 2012, according to The Commonwealth Journal. Thanks to fellow user brentvs_maximvs for pointing it out.
UPDATE #2 (February 7, 2014): This store actually opened in 1985 per a 2007 article in the Commonwealth-Journal about local businesses giving back, not 1988 as I originally thought.
The pharmacy island has not been painted, and the pharmacy signs are still there. This makes me wonder if they are moving the pharmacy to where the subway was, because if not, this probably would have been painted with new signs by now.

Next on our agenda was The Pharmacy Speakeasy. I have never understood Prohibition, especially as it was highly unsuccessful for the most part and ultimately failed in the long run. Although most people think of it as being an American notion it was also widespread in other countries, including Canada.
Being a retired pharmacist I was not enamored of the idea that a pharmacy was used as a front for this "den of iniquity" but it sure was fun to dance there. Literally you went through the very normal looking pharmacy to get to the club! We were the only ones there but the stream had some great tunes and the dances were great fun too.
I don't know if this is based on a real place of that era but I did find there is a Pharmacy Speakeasy today in Malaga, Spain and also one in Orlando.

Sorry to say I don't remember what was at this corner of the store in the 80's: perhaps the pharmacy was here and expanded to the left when the bank closed down. Obviously the pharmacy lettering on the walls is not original. It took me a while to figure it out, but it's millennium decor lettering!
The "Pick-Up" and "Drop-Off" signs over the counter are of course millennium decor as well. I'm not even sure this store had a pharmacy in the beginning. I'm quite certain all the floor tile in view here has been redone at some point as well.

CVS Pharmacy #1971 (10,185 square feet)
4715 Walmsley Boulevard, Richmond, VA
This location was built and opened in 1999. The site originally housed a Ukrop's, which opened on May 12th, 1965.
Right next to the jewelry store is the pharmacy, oddly placed here in the home department and on the opposite side of the store from the grocery department. The hanging sign outside the pharmacy (and probably also the ones inside) are from the decor package after this one; the outside one was unfortunately placed blocking the wall decor, though admittedly most people would be unlikely to notice the wall sign anyways since it's tiny and up at ceiling level along a narrow walkway.
And yes, the store does feel as oppressively low-ceilinged, dark, and cluttered as in person as in this picture. It's clear that Fred Meyer, back when this store was built, was trying to be a cheap store, not a fancy one.

Cool signage on the wall at the pharmacy waiting area of the now former Exeter Rd. Kroger in Germantown TN. Daniel got a photo somewhat similar to this one just a day before the store officially closed (flic.kr/p/wfoCwn), and started it's limited, 3 day "inventory reduction" sale. Yeah, Kroger really hates using the word "closing" sometimes, although they didn't have any qualms about throwing that word down on the American Way store when the time came!

Getting a prescription processed is becoming very convoluted. This is Knowle Pharmacy where the staff are helpful but have to deal with the volume of work involved. The communication between the GDP practice and the pharmacy is not a robust one. You have to exercise resilience to work through the administration involved.

Pharmacy inside the Walmart just south of Germantown in Memphis. Pic taken in late June 2013, and probably one of the very few Walmart locations around here that hasn't been completely Project Impact remodeled.

Traditional Chinese pharmacy, Bangkok
Like much of old Bangkok, Chinese pharmacies that once were the main source of general medical advice, are disappearing fast. This particular pharmacy has been in the family for several generations but perhaps not for much longer. It is remarkably well stocked, with a charming air of organized chaos, and a distinctly Thai feel.
This is part of a series documenting the changes to my neighbourhood in Bangkok - an area I first visited in 1988
