Nice to know that some of our words mean the the same thats what I know by a grocery store even though the scale is somewhat larger than I am used to LOL

Maybe someone can help me what exactly is the American term Drug Store

The drug store has a pharmacy and all kinds of over-the-counter (non-prescription) meds like cough syrup and aspirin. They also sell candy and toiletries.
Of course, the ones by me are HUGE and also sell clothes, rent DVD's and just about anything else you can imagine!
We don't need grocery stores with all of the drug stores.

When I was young, (many years ago), a drug store was where you got prescriptions filled and bought cosmetics and over the counter drugs like aspirin, cough syrup and first aid products. But it also had a soda fountain where you could get fountain drinks and sundaes and banana splits and sandwiches. I just loved to go to the drugstore. But the ones like that are all gone I think.

snugs, a drugstore is an apothecary. And snow is most definitely overrated.

Nice to see you here tonight.
