Mariano's Pharmacy in Chicago is a convenient and well-stocked grocery store and pharmacy located in Ukrainian Village. The store offers a good variety of overall affordable items, including reduced-price clearance items, and features convenient rooftop parking. While it can be busy and occasionally run out of certain items during peak hours, shopping at optimal times ensures a quick and enjoyable visit. The pharmacy itself is highly recommended, staffed with dedicated and helpful professionals. The pharmacists and technicians go above and beyond to explain medication costs and side effects, help brainstorm options, and provide essential support, especially when contact with other healthcare providers is limited. They offer comprehensive clinical services, administer important vaccinations like flu, shingles, and Tdap shots, and provide helpful advice. Prescriptions can be managed easily with convenient online tools for transfers and refills. The friendly staff and positive atmosphere make it a preferred choice for many in the area.
I asked if they could fill a prescription and they just hung up on me lol

I dread going here. One of the pharmacists is often rude for no reason. They've more than once not had the vaccine for which an appointment has been confirmed. You can't buy store things at the counter, so have to wait in line twice. Just blech.

This is my least favorite Mariano's location. The other locations are larger and cleaner. Good selection of cheeses and baked goods, otherwise no better than other grocery stores. I came down on elevator 2 which really stunk today. Also found bad smells by the "fresh" fish area. Isles are crowded.
