A great pharmacy service with professional people working there. I merely send an image of our prescription and the medications are usually dropped to our doors on the same day free of charge. In a few circumstances, I sent the prescription after their delivery person left the store and they called him to return and deliver our prescription the same day. It has always been above and beyond our expectation. Thank you for your great service.

I walked in for a flu/pneumococcal shot. The pharmacist advised that I get a flu shot immediately to protect me in the current flu season. She suggested that I return when I turned 65 at which time the cost would be covered by AHS. I appreciated her advice. I got my flu shot during this visit and did not have to wait.

This is a hidden gem in Calgary. Very local feel and very friendly business. I am able to email them to get info, which is very convenient. They are very quick at getting prescriptions ready as well. They also offer vaccines, which is very handy.

We go to the Corner Drugstore for all our vaccines and prescriptions. We were even able to get travel vaccinations here. The entire staff are warm and welcoming. Ive seen how they are with customers and there is no one better. They actually take time to get to know you.

Time to update my review. 5 stars does not seem like an adequate rating for The Corner Drug Store. From the minute you walk in you feel welcome. City wide delivery, phone consultations, telephone or email prescription refills, flu shots, shingles vaccine and Covid Vaccine, I could go on with the services they provide that I have used. Thank you Netty, Lijo, Abdul and everyone else :)
This is the only pharmacy I have used for many years, one visit and you will know why !!
