Featuring a full-scale pharmacy with a private office for patient wellness counseling, as well as a part-time nutritionist and organic foods section, the chain's 23rd food/drug combo and 29th store overall was built on the site of one of the first Ukrop stores. Lured by specials such as prescription discounts and screenings for cholesterol, blood pressure and diabetes, a steady stream of shoppers packed the pharmacy area throughout the debut day.
