Parkway Pharmacy

Not long ago, I had to stop in here to purchase some items because I have an FSA at work. I heard a young man (who I’m very certain is related to the owner of this establishment) utter a racial slur towards about a certain minority group as he spoke with one of the stores’ personnel. I decided to exit. Having lived in Kensington since the 1980s, I must say the neighborhood has always been a melting pot. I like supporting local businesses in the nabe but quite frankly, I’ll take my money elsewhere, even if it means supporting Rite Aid or Walgreens a few blocks away.

Great pharmacy. Their prices are competitive with the chains, but you get better service. They deliver and I just called and asked if they could come outside to pick up a prescription so my son could sleep. Great toys too!

In this world of big chain pharmacies and retail store pharmacies, it is a pleasure to have the local, old fashioned corner drug store to go to. At Parkway Pharmacy you are treated as a real customer/​patient, not just a «number.» The Pharmacists are very knowledgeable about all drugs and interactions, and are always willing to answer your questions to help relieve anxiety you may have. The store itself is fully stocked with everyday items to meet all of your needs. I highly recommend using them the next time you need a prescription filled. You will not be disappointed.

THE STAFF IS EXCELLENT!!! My mother and I would never leave them… Professional, Attentive and Friendly. GREAT SERVICE

This is the only pharmacy where you are not just a number. Its a real neigborhood business. Not a mega chain. They do deliveries. Help with insurance claims. Which is way above and beyond most pharmacies around here. Nice large bathroom is always clean. Staff is attentive and friendly. Great place. great service. Tgey have been around for a long time and they understand customer service.

I used to shop at the CVS or Walgreens down the street, but I was turned off by how dirty and disorganized their stores are. Staff seems to be in a daze. Not making eye contact, or a friendly hello. More like droids.
I never went into the Parkway Pharmacy because I didn’t really notice it. The window displays are a bit old school, and you can’t see in the store.
I went in out of curiosity and boy, I was surprised. This place is CLEAN, ORGANIZED and well stocked! Their staff is friendly, down-​to-​earth and real people. Every time I go in there, I find what I need. The folks back in the pharmacy are in a hearty discussion. It reminds me of the pharmacy we had as a kid. The ones where people talk to you and care. Not the chain stores.
I bought a deodorant from that was on sale. Unfortunately, it didn’t get rung up as on sale and I didn’t notice until I went home. I called and they apologized. I went back with my receipt and the manager apologized profusely and opened the till to give me the difference. I explained how much I liked the shop, much more than down the street. He offered to scan in the circular and email it to me (since they don’t mail them). He also told me how they work with the regular customers to get them what they need — calling those that are ill, telling them what’s on sale and delivering it to them. Wow!
I go there first and love the place. Their greeting cards are über cheap. I just wish they had Hallmark’s and Shoe Box.
Don’t go to the chains down the street. Support the real people. Keep it old school.

There is a great commitment o service here. They do what is necessary to help you. For example, in my case, there was a problem with the insurance, and they advanced the drugs to me anyway, refusing to take a cash deposit. Gene is always on the phone working things out for his clients, and the woman at the register, is very responsive, and lovely as well.

The staff at Parkway Pharmacy are the best around — the pharmacists know their stuff, they always try to get you your prescriptions as fast as they can. They are patient, go over side effects when asked, and are all around good guys. The store is very well stocked compared to the brand-​name pharmacies nearby, and I almost always can get what I need same day.
