CVS Pharmacy #6812 (13,320 square feet)
4432 George Washington Memorial Highway, Heritage Square, Yorktown, VA
This location opened in October 2009.
The site previously housed three buildings: a 7-Eleven-turned Papa John's/Comic shop, a Pizza Hut-turned York Deli and a strip of shopping center stores.
I'm not saying that people in France are hypochondriacs, but see if you can find all three green-cross pharmacy signs on this single city block.
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.

Rite Aid Pharmacy in Murrieta Town Center is currently in the process of closing down, this was the city's second Rite Aid to close since the California Oaks Road location closed in December...
Aisle 7 was snack foods, juice, water and sodas, all Edwin foods!
Covina, CA. One day a pharmacy and the next day an insurance office. Glad to see the sign reused. Here's look of what it looked like before. tinyurl.com/mzryv5s

History of the Lakeside Pharmacy Icons
The oversized depictions of items commonly sold in a 1960’s drugstore advertised the pharmacy that also contained a fountain counter and a post office substation. Larry Cohn was the pharmacist and owner for nearly 50 years until his retirement in 2014. The building will soon be occupied by new businesses. Since the icons do not reflect the new businesses, it was decided to remove them from the façade. In order to preserve these loved icons, the Lake Anne Reston Condominium Association donated the icons to the Reston Historic Trust & Museum in July 2018. On July 17, 2018, the icons were removed by Capitol Museum Services, known for quality work in custom exhibit fabrication and installation. Capitol Museum Services has placed the icons in storage until they can be reinstalled in a new location on the Plaza. The installation is being designed by Jeanne Krohn who designed the Reston Historic Trust & Museum’s exhibits.
We think it is imperative that these icons remain on the plaza at Lake Anne. Last year Lake Anne Village Center was named a national historic district and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The icons are an important part of Lake Anne Village Center’s history, representing an original store that conducted business here for nearly 50 years and the public art which was a hallmark of the new community.
The New York graphic design firm of Chermayeff and Geismar (now Chermayeff, Geismar & Haviv), was hired by Whittlesey & Conklin, the architects of the plaza, and together they treated the storefronts on the plaza as a form of public art. While the main purpose of the Lakeside Pharmacy icons was advertising, the icons are characteristic of the 1960s Pop Art aesthetic and reflected Bob Simon’s wish for fun and whimsical artwork on the plaza. Chermayeff and Geismar were also responsible for creating the logos for NBC and PBS.

CVS Pharmacy #2537 (9,921 square feet)
1187 Jamestown Road, Williamsburg, VA
This location was built and opened in 2001. The site originally housed a Village Texaco, Backfin restaurant and The Village Shoppes strip mall. At one point, Eckerd had considered building a store here to replace this location, but ultimately their plans fell through.
WEEK 29 – Arlington Kroger
Rounding the corner from the frozen foods section we find ourselves at the store's pharmacy. This is a pretty standard layout for a millennium store: pharmacy in the front left corner. The only section that doesn't seem to be standard is natural foods... (cont.)

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 :)
The Abc compounding pharmacy provides you quality medicine at affordable prices with effective result.
CVS Pharmacy #1530 (10,022 square feet)
2738 W Broad Street, Richmond, VA
This location opened in 1994; it was originally a Peoples Drug, which was built in 1992 to replace an older location on site.
The pharmacy is located in the back left corner of the store, and includes a fairly large seating area tucked right in the corner. I'm rather surprised this store has a pharmacy, given its age, especially since QFCs often don't have pharmacies (much more commonly than Safeways, at least).
That's it for this week. I should finish up this store next week, but this new quarter is looking to be quite a bit busier than last, so I'll just have to see what ends up happening over the next few months :)
CVS Pharmacy #4063 (11,000 square feet)
1109 Benns Church Boulevard, Smithfield, VA
