Pharmacies aren't really a kind of store in the US, they are a department that might be found in a supermarket, big-box general retailer, etc. Even "drug stores" like those operated by CVS are basically a convenience store plus the health and beauty departments of a big general retailer plus a pharmacy. Retail pharmacy is a store feature to generate traffic to sell general consumer products, not the central feature of the store.
