On Monday, 29th of October, Korčula Pharmacy will open their new pharmacy store.
The newly opened location for the pharmacy will be within the Tommy Shopping centre, which has become a central point for just about all shopping needs for people of Korčula and their visitors, just above the city centre.
As is customary with the openings, there will be a bit of a celebration on the opening day in the new pharmacy, there will be gifts and various samples given to first visitors and quite a lot of popular cosmetics products will be discounted 20% (one can really not expect actual medicines to be discounted, but La-roche, Vichy, Lerbolario, Avene, A-derma, Ducray, Klorane and Elancyl cosmetics will certainly get a lot of people interested enough).
The new pharmacy will be open Monday to Fridays from 7 am until 8 pm, on Saturdays it will work in the morning (7 am until noon) and in the afternoon (6 pm until 8 pm), and on Sundays it will just be open in the morning (9 am to 11 am).
The existing pharmacy, located at the centre of the Korčula town, right next to the main town entrance, will remain open and continue working, although the company says that it will from now on be a "specialised drug retail store Farmacija Korčula" (what exactly that phrase means remains to be seen), as they do not want to break the tradition of pharmacies in the centre of Korčula town. That tradition is not as historically important as is the history of pharmacies in, say, Dubrovnik, but still, it's worth preserving. The pharmacy in the town centre will be open Monday to Fridays 8 am until 3 pm, and Saturdays morning, 8 am until noon. On Sundays, it will be closed.
