Lakes Region Pharmacy
 

I've had the third bad experience with the Rite Aid Pharmacy in Meredith. The medication I need is required to sustain my life. Is the Pharmacy at Hannaford any better? Is there a local pharmacy other than a chain?

I have found Walgreens (Wolfeboro, Ossipee, and I assume elsewhere) to be very good. The advantage of a chain is that when you travel, your prescription travels with you. If you forget your pills, the local branch can tide you over.

CVS Gilford
 

I have traveled to the lake only to realize I was short on my medication. I was able to get a refill at the above CVS with no issues

We have moved our prescriptions from RiteAid to Hannaford.

They have done well.

Hannaford in Meredith has done a great job for us, even when they have had to call an out of state pharmacy re a refill. Very reliable team.

Consider Amazon for Rx.

I have been using Rite-Aid, Bristol for years without issue…that said, the Tilton/Franklin store shut it’s doors not too long ago.

Personally, buying everything through Jeff Bezzos gives me heartburn.

I don't get prescriptions at Meredith Rite Aid, but we do shop there for the occasional health and beauty item. I went in there about a month ago to get shaving cream or something, and the shelves in the whole place were barren. Looked like the photos from the Soviet Union stores in the 70's. I asked the cashier what was going on, and she said that because of their bankruptcy and re-org, it is difficult to get inventory. So there's that...

I was in the same store a few days after the 4th of July and noticed the same sparse selections on the shelves. I said something to the clerk and she blamed it on the 4th of July Holiday business and they hadn't had a chance to replenish their shelves yet.......

Sadly Rite Aid may never emerge from Bankruptcy this time around, however many of their locations are ripe for being snatched up by CVS or Walgreen's.

Only time will tell what will happen.
