Through time and tide, I grew wearied and utter dismayed from the national corporate standard pharmacies of Walgreens and CVS. I was in search of hair conditioner specifically to moisture dry hair. In the passage and consumption of my wanderlust travels I encountered Thriftway Pharmacy located between 45th Street and 46th Streets intersecting 10th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, Midtown West.

Customer service is "as is" described by previous Yelp reviews! Attentive to customers' needs and take the time to service. Oddly, I have previously purchased hair shampoo but now lacking

They will try to tell you your insurance doesn’t work or that you don’t have insurance so you’ll pay cash and they’ll charge you extra. Scammers and really the problem with the medical distrust in America.

Ordering was quite straightforward, and the staff was quite helpful, polite, and compassionate when my credit card kept diminishing due to out-of-country transactions. The medications contained inside the package were tightly sealed and in great shape. Thank you so much!

Not open Sundays. This is a great, neighborhood pharmacy. Service feels personal and caring. I tried to update the incorrect operating hours which Google lists here, but even though they published my verification photo of the hours posted on the front door, Google wouldn't correct the hours listed here. Oh well, I tried.

Probably good for pharmaceutical products but definitely not good for UPS.
Person at counter did not know how to give an email receipt yet did not inform me in advance.
The person I saw last week knew how to do it.
We all know that on occasion packages go missing... packages cost dollars and jobs.
We all require receipts to follow up on missing packages.
The people today at this pharmacy were non-plus that giving me a receipt was an issue and just dismissed it.
Suggest go to a UPS store for any package drop offs not Thrift Pharmacy. A pity because I wouldn’t trust going here again.

I’ve been a customer for some time. I’ve always had positive experiences with Thriftway. I never really gave much thought to this local pharmacy. I noticed the employees are always very kind & helpful. Perhaps two years ago, I decided to get my prescriptions filled there. I’ll spare readers boring details but I had an issue this week with medication I need to take daily. It had to do with the amount of medication & my insurance coverage. With the ease of a trained magician, the pharmacist took care of everything at no cost. I was almost in shock at being believed & valued as a customer &

This is the best Pharmacy in Hells Kitchen and even Manhattan. The pharmacist and owner, Chris, is a great guy and he's always attentive to what you need and how to get it for you. I highly recommend this pharmacy. Plus they have delivery. You cannot find a better Pharmacy or Pharmacist in town!

Just updating 10 years on from my first review here ...Chris is still as amazing as he was then! I never bother with the others...I can get everything I need at Thriftway, and if he doesn't have it in he will get it.. sometimes even the next day ! Great store and I love to look after the local businesses. He also always supports the local zoned elementary school too so a big 5* again from me !

This has to be one of the best pharmacies of all time! I've never had a single problem with my prescriptions unlike with CVS. They also sell some interesting things that you wouldn't find in most other pharmacies and I find that kind of neat. The people are pleasant and have found coupons for some of my prescriptions. I think that's nice. I don't really want to pay $90 when I can pay only $10. Thank you Thriftway for your help.

Great deals and friendly service. Came in for some cold medicine and left satisfied. Some other reviewer talked about micro aggressions but I think that guy is just a bit too sensitive.

I'm a little slap-dash about my prescriptions so I'm super glad I have Chris, the owner and pharmacist, in my corner. A friend told me her Dr. wrote her out a prescription for pills that will last her for the next year and my first thought was "Chris, would never let me get away with something shady like that." He's a good person and it also reflects in his staff. They've never been anything but helpful. Also, I switched insurances and he helped me understand the new maze of changes regarding my prescriptions.

I called up and really just needed children's Motrin delivered to my aunt's house where my children were. The pharmacist, Chris told me they only delivered prescription meds, but made an exception for this situation. I really appreciate how he went out of his way to do this for me. I'll definitely be doing business with this pharmacy again!!!!!

The pharmacist Chris is great; he'll go to bat for you with your insurance company and do as much of the bureaucratic leg work for you as possible.

The old lady at the register though? I do not say this lightly: she has a problem with customers whose names aren't in English. If your name is Nguyen, Vivek, Sharif, Varin -- expect some rudeness at the counter. When you try and help her out by politely introducing yourself or going over the pronunciation of your name she rolls her eyes at you or audibly scoffs. Worse, she'll look you in the eye and "translate" your name

Growing up in flyover state, my family used the local pharmacist . He had his own independent shop and provided the type of service sorely lacking in the major chains Yeah, I'm mean you CVS, Duane Reade and Walgreens. In fact, my parents after 45 years still use him and now his son.

Chris and the gang at Thirftway remind me of my family pharmacist. Taking the time to know you, your needs and most importantly help and guide you through the labyrinth of prescription drug coverage.

I walk in my new scrip or call with a renewal and boom! it's ready very quickly. No 20 minutes on the

I tend to use only natural skin products such as soap, shaving cream, etc. because I am allergic to the additives they put in mainstream products, in which this pharmacy provides a wide variety of what I use. However, I only tend to go here when I don't have time to go to Westerly on 54th and 8th (I live much closer to Thriftway so its more convienant for me), but the prices for everything is OUTRAGEOUS. My wallet feels robbed whenever I go in there, I pay several dollars extra for the same products that I buy at Westerly. Even for things they sell at Duane Reade and Rite Aid is cheaper

Transfer your prescriptions here, and you'll never to go a smelly Duane Reade again. Fantastic staff, prompt, courteous service, great availability, free delivery, and lots of great specialty products to browse while you wait. Support this neighborhood pharmacy. You won't be disappointed.

Finally fed up of the nightmare that is Duane Reade? Terrible service, long lines, poor management, too many tourists, pushy sales people, poorly stocked shelves, etc. Time to forgo convenience of the corner DR and look for somewhere else in the neighborhood.

If you are looking for a place to fill your prescriptions, buy soap, bandaids, and toothpaste; a place with professional, friendly, and knowledgeable staff who are willing and able to answer questions about medications and treat you with courtesy: Thriftway is the spot.

I recently called to see if a prescription my doctor sent over was

I am a Native New Yorker, who values loyalty and kindness, and who believes that true New Yorkers are the warmest people. That said, I would not go to any other NYC pharmacy in all of our fair city! Chris, originally from Brooklyn, is a NYC Gem!, and simply paying him a visit is medicinal! ; ) Chris is the Chemist/Owner of Thriftway Pharmacy, NYC, on 10th Ave., and he is The Best, Chris is a gentleman, professional, efficient, kind neighborly, and, he is also knowledgeable about his product, as well as about medical conditions, as attested to by his accurate medical assessment, which was more

Not what I expected at all! I thought "Thriftway" would be a tiny hole in the wall with only a couple old bottles of Pepto gathering dust...

This pharmacy is compact but has JASON and Alba products that I usually see at Whole Foods and ton of variety. I found the right deodorant and shampoos and will definitely be going back.
