drugstore

Corner medicine retailer

A drugstore is a retail store where medicines and prescriptions are dispensed, typically alongside everyday household items, toiletries, and convenience goods.

The term is primarily American; British English prefers chemist or pharmacy.

Unlike a pure pharmacy, a drugstore usually sells snacks, magazines, cosmetics, and sundries.

I picked up my prescription and some toothpaste at the drugstore.
