Drugstore Poll
 

I really thought that when Rite Aid went out of business in Ohio in 2001 or 2002 that it was gone all over, but I guess I was wrong.


What are the drugstores in your area?

In Charlotte, we have CVS, ECKERD, and Walgreens.

How come CVS is the only one with a MVP card. I love my CVS card. :cool:

We have Rite-Aid, CVS, Eckerd's, and Walgreens here in the 'Cuse.

Rite-Aid, Eckerd's ( I think some stores will be closing. JCPenney has sold them or something like that), Walgreens :D

Walgreens and Osco's :)

In NYC we have (just to name a few):

Duane Reade
Rite Aid
CVS
Walgreen

Let's see we have....

CVS....my personal favorite open 24 hours
Walgreens....least favorite they are so slow
Osco.....they are so far and in between that I forget about them..

What is Eckerd's....sounds like a sandwich shop.

CVS.....thats it!

What!!!! Eckerd used to be the "drug" spot before we got a CVS

I only know where two Eckerd's are: down in the Nine and on the corner of Severn and W. Esplanade. Rite-Aid needs to go 'head! They are some overpriced mofos. I am going to start a petition: BRING BACK K&B!!! :D

I never heard of Osco.

There are like 80 gazillion Eckerd's in Charlotte.

There is an Eckerd's on the Westbank. I pass it EVERYDAY. There was another one on the WB, it may have closed down a few years ago. :confused:

There are Eckerd's in the BRa too. I know the "newer" one on Plank Road. The other stores may have closed down. :confused:

K&B (all dat dayum PURPLE) was just as worse as Rite-Aid, IMO. :o

There are CVS and Rite-Aid and a whole bunch of Walgreen's popping up. My preference is CVS because whatever I am looking for, 90% of the time, they have it and about 50% of the time, it is on sale (w/ a CVS card!)

Here in the Philly area we have Rite-Aid, CVS, Walgreens, & Eckerd.

Don't forget Happy Harry's too! :D

I have never heard no dang on Happy Harry. Where is that out in the boonies where you from...he he he:D

Beeee quiet!! :p
I guess they are only around my 'area'. :)

No girl, I used to live up in Happy Harry's. It's not us, it's Kim!!! :p

me too
 

Kim , I am with you on the Happy Harry store. Now if they would have said Drug Emporium we could have gave them that one since they are only way out there know.

I forgot about Drug Emporium. . . there was one by old apartment in Columbus. They were a godsend being open 24 hours when a sista had a Ben and Jery's Vanilla Heath Toffee Crunch monkey on her back. :o

In the DC/MD/VA area, we got CVS (it used to be People's, who remembers them??), Eckerd (like 1 or 2), Rite-Aid, used to have Drug Emporium (that was my store). But a lot of folks go to Giant's, Safeway, Wal-Mart or Shoppers to get their drugs.

Walgreens and a lot of ma and pa drugstores. Just about all of the grocery stores and stores like Target have a pharmacy in the back.

Well here in A-K-Ron we have Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid. I tend to shop at CVS if I need however I will go to walgreens if they have a sale or something.

We have CVS, RiteAid, Drug Emporium (only a veeeerry few of them) and Walgreens here in Derby City!
Here The only stores that are 24hour is Walgreens.

I remember when I think RiteAid used to be called by another name...I think it was SuperRx....Maybe that was only in Louisville....
Oh well....

OMG!!! I totally forgot about Drug Emporium!! That used to be my store!! How could I forget them. Why did they close down?

We have CVS & Rite Aid. I have seen the Eckerd sign, but never paid it any attention.

I went into an Eckerd yesterday and although everything still says Eckerd, there are signs in the store saying it is going to become Rite Aid. I wonder if this will happen with all the Eckerds? Fellow Charlotteans, what have you heard?

I'm not in Charlotte, but Rite Aid bought all the Eckerds in the Carolinas. Rite Aid is still big up North. I remember having Rite Aid in Charleston back in the day, but Kerr bought them out. Now they are coming back.

I'm a long time Eckerd shopper. I hate that Rite Aid is taking over. :mad: I didn't like them when they were in Charleston the first go around.

That's what I figured. I never shop at Eckerd. I think yesterday was the first time I was inside one since like 2005. But I just was not going to Super Wal Mart at 4:00 on a Friday.

The Eckerd around the corner from me has a sign that says Rite Aid is coming

Yes, it's like that up here too. Rite Aid bought out Eckerd.

IN Birmingham we have

Walgreens- Only 24 hr
CVS - I think they bought what used to be Big B Drugstore
Rite Aid -bought all of the Eckerds here
mom & pop kind of apothecaries

Then stores that have pharmacies that I know of:
Wal-Mart
Target
Fred's
Brunos (grocery store)
Publix
WinDixie (I think they have a pharm)

All of our Eckerds were bought out by CVS, with a Walgreens and a Rite-Aid down the street from each other.

That is what happened here in Delaware, also. The Eckerd converted to a Rite-Aid this past week even though there is already a Rite-Aid less than a mile away on the same street.

I guess JCPenney decided to give their Eckerd division the old heave-ho! :)

In NYC, the predominant drugstore is Duane Reade. It's expensive, the service isn't that great, nor is the selection, but it's EVERYWHERE. Most people have a love-hate relationship with it.

Other drugstores include CVS, Rite-Aid, and the occasional Walgreen's. Most of the independent places are being closed out by the Duane Reades popping up everywhere.:mad:

I was mad that they did! I love when you can use your JCP card at Eckerd!

Yeah, I have seen that too. I am not really a big fan of Eckerd or Rite Aid. When I lived in SC we had CVS (it used to be Revco back in the day) everywhere and I loved them. Now in NC there are a ton of Walgreen stores near my house, so that has become my store of choice.

I am a CVS gal except for when I need my berry flavored Mike n Ikes which are only sold at Walgreen's. I remember when it was good old Revco.;)

in Brooklyn--rite-aid (had an eckerd's but rite-aid bought them out), cvs,
walgrens, duane reade, and thriftway's

owner of rite aid
 

ED RANDEL's WIFE s family

everywhere you go... duane reade!!!

im mad that Chase went and put their ATM's all in DR's... umm can Citibank get up on it please?

I live in Ohio and we still have Rite Aid. We also have some local drug stores and Walgreens.
