South Philly Pharmacy will be celebrating its grand opening at 2101 S. 19th St., the former Prudential Savings Bank location, on Saturday, October 22.

This new business adds to the growing list of pharmacies in the area. CityCare Pharmacy opened a year ago on West Passyunk Avenue and RiteChoice Pharmacy opened more recently at the corner of Broad and Snyder.

    how many pharmacies does a neighborhood need? you forgot to mention the other newish pharmacy on the corner of 16th and McKean that opened around the same time as CityCare. Can’t we get other businesses to open?
