Chemist King opened up in Welland a few months ago, and at first it seemed an odd place to put it, because it is not connected to any supermarkets or shopping centres, where you usually find chemists.
However, no one around here is complaining, because it's super convenient - especially because it's so cheap!
I go here to get my prescriptions filled, and I barely have time to decide which aisle to browse before they've called me back to give me my order.
Still, browse I must, and they have a great selection of everything a large chemist should have - piles of beauty products, make-up, hair-care etc, as well as plenty of injury support and disability aids. Their range of herbal medicine is fantastic, and I've always found what I've been looking for, which saves me having to hunting down a Health Food shop around here.
Their standard prices are low, and they still have plenty of specials. I often stock up on necessities while they're on special here, because it saves me so much.
Also, the shop assistants here have always been friendly, so it's a nice place to be, as far as chemists go.
Look out for the specials bins at the registers, because if you spend over $30, you can get various products for one cent. Yep, one cent. Ridiculous? Yes, but again, who's complaining?
To save yourself the frantic moments of decision making under pressure, check them out before you go through, so you know what you want. You can never have enough face-wipes.
It's surprisingly quiet inside the shop, even though people must know about it - if you ever travel along Grange Road, you can hardly miss it. So hopefully locals start to use this chemist, because it would be great to keep it in the area! read more
