The rise of giant retailers has led to the disappearance of these local shops, reflecting a broader trend in retail toward consolidation and uniformity in the industry.
In earlier times, mom-and-pop drugstores thrived, characterized by a personal touch with pharmacists often serving as community figures, blending retail with neighborhoods.
