What is the point of
putting a new pharmacy basically across the street from another pharmacy?

We have that by us as well. A CVS opened up across from a Walgreen's.
They are on street corners. On one of the other corners of that same intersection is a grocery store, where of course you can buy some of the over-the-counter products sold at the pharmacies.
I just hope all three are not out of band-aids when I need them!

I'd like to know it too. We have 5 in our residential area. All of them on one street. Three are literally a few steps from each other.

They did it near us. Built a Walgreen's across the street from CVS.

@HoLeeFuk In a free market, the best product wins not because it’s forced on people, but because it delivers value. Choice is essential. Competition sharpens quality. Coercion kills innovation. The moment you remove choice, you don’t get excellence — you get compliance and stagnation.
That’s why enforced monopolies fail, whether in economics, ideas, or belief systems. When one option is imposed and others are silenced, growth stops. People stop improving because they no longer have to compete.
Apply this to religion, ideology, or even ideas:
If what you believe is truly strong, it should survive open comparison. Let it compete. Let people question it. Let people choose it freely. Truth doesn’t need a gun, a law, or fear to sustain itself.
Capitalism thrives on voluntary exchange.
Faith thrives on voluntary conviction.
The same principle: value wins when choice exists.
