More about this list
Independents are where local buying authority actually sits: the owner is usually the pharmacist, decisions are made in the store rather than at a head office, and the switching costs that lock in chain accounts do not apply. That makes them the primary market for wholesalers competing for primary supplier status, for pharmacy management and point-of-sale software, for compounding, adherence packaging and clinical service programs, and for the buyers consolidating independent pharmacy into regional groups. Franchise-banner stores such as Health Mart and Good Neighbor are flagged rather than excluded, because they are independently owned even though they buy through a program. Every record carries the national provider identifier and the practice address.

Using ChatGPT, Claude or an API?
No setup needed. Ask ChatGPT or Claude your question about the US Independent Pharmacies and give it this page: it can open https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=independent-pharmacy-list with the filters you need and show you the count and price.
Using ChatGPT or Claude? Tell it to answer from locationlists.com/find — no account, no connector.
How assistants ask
No connector needed. Any AI assistant can answer from this site with a web link, no connector, no account: open https://locationlists.com/find with the question as query parameters.
If a question needs filtering, distance, drive time, combining lists or a price, open a /find link: either put the question itself in q=, or build the structured link. The answer does not need an API, a connector or an account.
Simplest, the question itself: https://locationlists.com/find?q=<the question in plain words>
Or set the parts yourself: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=<slug>&state=<ST>&city=<city>&county=<county>&zip=<zip>&near=<place or zip>&radius=<miles>&drive=<minutes>&where=<column>:<op>:<value>&total=<rows>
Leave out what the question does not need. Use radius for straight-line miles or drive for minutes of driving (5 to 60), not both; near can name several places separated by | to reach from any of them. To ask about several lists at once, use datasets with two or more names, or category with a kind of business. To compare two lists, add relate=nearest and the other list with b. in front of its parameters. To count by area, use areas=county (or zip, state, metro). To keep only places whose county, ZIP code, metro area or state meets a Census figure, add area_where (for example county:population>1000000); with areas, per=100000 gives counts per 100,000 residents.
Links an assistant can open, each showing how many rows match, a few preview rows and the price for just that part:
- The whole list: add a city, state, ZIP code or distance:

Optional: connect for repeat use or wallet payments:
Read https://locationlists.com/skill.md and follow the instructions to connect LocationLists. Then show me the US Independent Pharmacies list.Your assistant will walk you through setup and show you the price before you pay.
For developers
Every step below has a no-connector equivalent: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=independent-pharmacy-list with the same filters as query parameters.
- Connect your agent to
https://locationlists.com/mcp(no key, no signup). - Call
count_locationswithdataset: "independent-pharmacy-list"and any filter — it is free, and returns how many rows match and what they cost. - Fetch the rows with
query_locations: $0.41 per 100 rows from this dataset. Above 21,614 rows, buying the whole file is cheaper.
Paid in USDC over x402 — the agent gets an HTTP 402 with the exact price, signs, and retries. Money moves only after rows are delivered, so a failed or empty query costs nothing. Setup for Claude, Cursor and VS Code
?Frequently Asked Questions
How many Independent Pharmacies are there in the US?
There are 43,227 Independent Pharmacies in the US as of October 2026. They are in all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico.
How is independence determined?
By exclusion. Every organization name is matched against the corporate chains and what remains is independent. Franchise banners are flagged separately, since a banner store is independently owned and is usually still a valid prospect.
Are franchise-banner stores in this file?
Yes, and they are marked. Excluding them would remove thousands of independently owned pharmacies; lumping them in unmarked would hide that they already have a supply relationship. Flagging lets you make the call.
Does it include mail order and specialty?
The registry includes them and the pharmacy type column identifies them where it is published, so you can filter to retail only if that is what you want.
