More about this list
Anyone can list the CVS and Walgreens stores; the commercially interesting question is which pharmacies are independently owned, and answering it requires matching every organization name against the corporate chains and then separately recognising that Health Mart, Good Neighbor and Medicine Shoppe are franchise banners over independently owned stores rather than corporate chains. Get that wrong and you either lose your best prospects or waste effort on stores with no local buying authority. Drug wholesalers, pharmacy software and point-of-sale vendors, compounding and specialty suppliers, and buyers consolidating independent pharmacy all work from exactly this split. Every record carries the national provider identifier, so it joins cleanly to prescribing and claims data.

Using ChatGPT, Claude or an API?
No setup needed. Ask ChatGPT or Claude your question about the US Pharmacies and give it this page: it can open https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=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:
https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=pharmacy-list
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 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=pharmacy-list with the same filters as query parameters.
- Connect your agent to
https://locationlists.com/mcp(no key, no signup). - Call
count_locationswithdataset: "pharmacy-list"and any filter — it is free, and returns how many rows match and what they cost. - Fetch the rows with
query_locations: $0.29 per 100 rows from this dataset. Above 53,307 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 Pharmacies are there in the US?
There are 106,613 Pharmacies in the US as of October 2026. They are in all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico. California has the most, with 9,374.
How do you tell a chain from an independent?
By matching the organization name against the corporate chains — CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, Costco, Publix, HEB and the rest — and classifying what remains as independent. Franchise banners are handled separately and deliberately, because a Health Mart is an independently owned store flying a banner, not a corporate location.
Why does the franchise distinction matter?
Because those 1,291 stores are independent buyers. Treating them as chain locations removes real prospects from your list; treating them as ordinary independents misses that they already buy through a banner program. They are flagged separately so you can decide.
What is the NPI good for?
It is the national provider identifier, the standard key across US healthcare data. It lets you join this file to prescribing, claims and provider datasets, which no scraped pharmacy list can support.
