pharmacy chain

Linked prescription retailers

A pharmacy chain is a group of drugstores operating under the same brand name and corporate ownership, like CVS, Walgreens, or Boots.

These retailers dispense prescription medications and sell over-the-counter drugs, health products, and often general merchandise.

The chain model allows bulk purchasing and standardized services across locations: The pharmacy chain expanded into rural areas where independent drugstores had closed.
