Central City Pharmacy is a community-owned pharmacy at 121 Victoria Avenue in Whanganui. The website says it has been in the same location since 1912, and that it gives expert health advice and treatment from highly trained pharmacists. Its guides cover topics such as cold and flu, flu and COVID-19 vaccination, winter skin care, sports injuries, allergies, and holiday stress.
Reviewers, some of whom have used the pharmacy for years, describe friendly staff who go out of their way to help. One says the staff have brought prescriptions out to the car when getting in and out was painful. Another says the staff cleaned up a fall-related injury and advised a visit to the hospital emergency department, because they live out of town. Friendly staff are mentioned most often. The website's long record in one location is part of its character.
