Staker's Drugs at 826 Chillicothe Street, Portsmouth, Ohio.

While I typically favor local stores over corporate chains due to keeping money local and the general friendly nature of most local stores I would have to say that this local business is an exception to the rule.

Prices on covered prescriptions here varied 200% when compared to other local pharmacies. On non-prescription drugs plan supplements, such as vitamin D, prices varied by 600% when compared to chains such as CVS or Kroger's Pharmacy. Additionally, this location's policies in regards to prescriptions and prescription coverage can result in a shopper paying a higher "out-of-pocket" price. Prices quoted here were 200% higher than quoted by prescription provider.

If you're an Ohio State University Buckeyes fan then there is a wide variety of memorabilia available, but expect to pay hospital gift shop prices.

The only redeeming quality is that I was informed by an employee to check with another pharmacy to get my prescriptions for less.
